Well then I think GP is actually agreeing with you but you are correcting their definition of economic sense. Which is great, but not sure why you had to snark them with the “meanwhile, economists think humans are rational” joke
I’m gonna drop my $.02 in here because I am SEVERELY lactose intolerant and would like to discuss with someone else who is lactose intolerant. (This comment is unrelated to the video)
I usually use 2-4 lactaid capsules when eating dairy and sometimes 8 when it’s some super cheesy pizza or something. I live in the United States. I visited Italy last year, and I ate a lot of ice cream, cheesy pastas, and pizzas without any problems. Same with my father and uncle who are lactose intolerant. Do you know if there’s anything different about Italian dairy vs American dairy? I recognize my experience is super anecdotal, but it’s quite funny as my uncle, my father, and I got cocky about our ability to eat US dairy after coming home from Italy and immediately regretted it! So yeah, we’re definitely lactose intolerant
Some differences that might play a role, but I have no real idea.
In the Netherlands cheap supermarket pizzas often have more fake cheese than real cheese. I can imagine that might mean less lactose, but maybe something in the fake cheese is giving you problems.
In the Netherlands most milk is pasteurized. I can imagine this is the case in the US too. In the Netherlands there is a special protected branding of cheese that is not pasteurized (boerenkaas). Pasteurizing milk reduces the calcium level. I can imagine Italians might prefer using unpasteurized milk products more than people in other countries.
This is enlightening. I didn't know you could take more than 2 lactaid capsules to increase effectiveness. I am also severely lactose intolerant and never took more than two assuming that they each pill was so packed full of lactase that it wouldn't help. This has resulted in me basically never eating dairy because 1 pill rarely helps.
But as to your question, from what I understand, preparation can have a great effect on amount of lactose so the traditional Italian methods likely prepare cheeses in a way that reduces lactose.
Italian methods for cheesemaking are nearly identical to US methods (including, in most cases, pasteurization). I can't think of any cheese preparation differences that would have the slightest effect on lactose. It is the case that Italians eat more sheep milk cheese (pecorino) than Americans, and sheep milk has a bit less lactose. And Italians also eat more aged cheeses. But I don't think this is nearly enough to explain any differences you may have seen.
I find this incredibly disturbing. I don’t mean that negatively or personally in any way. But I routinely meet people who are completely unaware of this and who actually think he called Nazis very fine people. Because the media and the campaign ads and people on social media keep repeating this lie and never show the dozens of times that he has already addressed this, including in the second half of the sentence that quote comes from, but was edited out. The fact that such a significant hoax that is trivially debunked continues to live on for years is a bad sign. Obviously, this is why he attacks the media so much. And who can blame him?
Sibling comment has a compilation of him doing it 38 times. I recommend this video as well:
But Trump [1] also says the non-white congresswomen known as "the squad" should go back to where they came from. Even riled up his supporters [2] to chant "send her back".
You know "go back to where you came from" is a common racial insult hurled at non-white immigrants decades or generations after they naturalize in the USA?
Is Biden any better? Quoting 'adventured' from elsewhere in this thread:
> As opposed to Biden's belligerent life-long racism, which the left universally goes a great distance out of its way to ignore?
> Even Kamala Harris called him a racist. She did her best to run away from that after it was no longer convenient of course.
> See: Biden's statements on "a racial jungle," segregation, busing, and how he didn't want his children going to desegregated schools.
> See: Biden's support of the crime bill that specifically targeted and locked up a million black people.
> See: Biden's past friendships and associations with 'former' KKK memembers like Robert Byrd (someone he considered a good friend and mentor). Byrd was one of the most vile pieces of scum elected to the US Government in the past century. How's that for associating with white supremacists?
> See: Biden's racist statements about Obama prior to the 2008 election.
It is in the context of Trump supposedly “making it cool to be a racist”. You’re not replacing Trump with a pure and just candidate like Sanders, but rather with another racist (if you believe Trump deserve to be labeled a racist) who’s been on the wrong side of history for the majority of his political career. The only difference is that the mainstream media has abandoned all journalistic integrity in order to protect Biden and attack Trump at all costs. They’re really no better than FoxNews at this point.
Regardless of the merits of ascribing market action to the president...
To claim that Trump "restored" stock market levels when in reality the S&P 500 had gained 183% in the previous 8 years (the second highest returns of any presidency after Clinton), is an admission of blatant bias and sheer ignorance.
Most accounts from the Trump White House, e.g. Bolton’s book, report that Kushner had a substantial daily influence on Trump. He was officially in charge of numerous initiatives. It’s hard to argue that he and Ivanka were not present in White House deliberations.
wow its hard to argue with such things as demonstrative as "substantial daily influence" and "numerous initiatives" as well as being "present at white house deliberations"
it wouldnt suprise me if what he had for breakfast had a bigger impact.
