the popularity of the meme of lactose intolerance has led to a drastic drop in demand for milk but the supply has not dropped so much because it still has many industrial uses separated, as butter, as casein for plastics and paints, and lactose, present in half the tablets in the world as the binding agent.
most of the people who know about lactose intolerance, aren't.
lactose is tolerated by something like 70% of people in the world, no matter your skin color, but it is true that in asia, africa and south america the rates are higher.
most of the people have relatives from colonial days from europe, and those genes brought lactose tolerance.
the white of milk has become tied up with the meme of white of antiracists, but this is actually only serving to cause harm to the majority of people who are now avoiding one of the best foods for the human body, they are substituting it for provably toxic, malt filled, insecticidal rice, oats, and even worse things in other seeds like cashew and almonds. the only one that has got trendy that isn't garbage is coconut, and the sugars in coconut are still pretty bad... and that's not counting the amount of glyphosate, glyphosate residue, and genetic modification being done to all these milk alternatives.
lactose is not just a non-fermenting, moderately sweet sugar, it also serves as fiber when it is not absorbed, and helps pack your poops into neat chunks. one of the benefits of the cacao is that it contains a lot of dietary fiber as well.
this popular meme of lactose intolerance has resulted in a situation where you are getting about the same nutrition for almost 1/4 of the price of the equivalent of beef or lamb meat, even though most of the people, as i say, are not lactose intolerant, who know of this problem.
the only reason why i know how good an alternative it is, is because it's not possible for me to pay for the full price for good meat, but the milk is affordable. i basically had to try it as a primary food when i realized it was not in any way causing me digestive problems.
i'm living on a bare shoestring, working my butt off to get income happening on this tiny sliver of a stack of cash, and i am closing in at least two possibilities, and i attribute part of my capacity to work this hard, to having kicked out the expensive alcohol and caffeine and sugars and fake sugars, simultaneously recovering from some severe neurotoxin damage, weak digestion, weak muscles, and weak mind, to running on all 8 cylinders, while paying almost 1/4 of the cost in food because i am focusing on milk, cacao and sea salt.
