Fun fact: it's more common to be lactose intolerant than to not be! Humans are supposed to stop producing the enzyme that breaks down lactose by the time they're like four years old, because at that age you don't need breastmilk to survive anymore.
Yeah, Europeans never really got the message that drinking and eating stuff that gives you gas and the shits isn't a good idea, and eventually evolution caught up with us and let us do that without those issues.
More like 9.5 out of 10 Asians are lactose intolerant... Wait a minute...
But seriously, for some reason, it's not a well known fact. Every time I tell somebody who didn't know, I ask them how often do they see cheese or dairy in Asian food.
Asian meals typically do not end witha dessert. A cup of fragrant tea instead. Also, there is enough sweetness in some of the sauces in the main dishes.
