      I was curious about specifics, so I looked it up — 59% of Canada is lactose intolerant to the US’s 36%. I wonder what factors cause a 20% difference. Most of northern europe has low percentages, like the UK where I’m from having 8%.

        I looked up my statistic from healthline which cited some study. I imagine a big part of the difference is the healthcare system. People are gonna be less likely to go to the doctor for the symptoms in the US unless they have money or are desperate for a solution. Others, like myself, figured it out ourselves by process of elimination and might not show on statistics because of that.

          Same, usually, some stuff i get a very delayed reaction though. Sometimes feels like my stomach gets more sensitive as time goes on. Pizza is a no-go for me now… as of last night so are cheese filled breadsticks apparently.

    Homie, take a good look at the ice cream section of any grocery store in Canada, you’re gonna see a LOT of ‘frozen desert’ fine print. This isn’t new and sure as fuck isn’t because Trudeau.

    Vote NDP just because fuck this guy in particular.

      Most? I’ll hear that. There’s a lotta cheap ice cream on the market that’s more ice than cream. But any? Naw naw, ice cream made from good quality cream, made slowly, with fresh fruit is an outta this world treat.

      Though, most times I want something cold and sweet, I’m making something closer to the “nice cream” another user suggested.

        I think what gives the vegan option the edge is how I feel after enjoying it.

      Hell, even nice cream (frozen bananas + plant milk of choice + flavorings like pb + cocoa powder or whatever you want + blender) is better

    But how can I enjoy my creamy treat if something didn’t suffer to make it?? 😮‍💨

    /uj it hurts my brain when they think we want to eat bugs. You’ve so thoroughly misunderstood veganism.

    is it ice cold cream? why would anyone assume the ingredients. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck
