    Considering lactose intolerant folks love the product so much that they will endure whatever digestive hellscape lays before them, and them not being shy about bragging about it, I’m not surprised Big Milk raised prices on cheese. They know what they have, and they know people will pay.

    ~Econ 101: supply and demand.~

      Daduq is up with cheese, wherever you are? Do you consider nonfermented coagulated milk cheese? Because a real cheess, that was actually aged (even like 3 month young Gouda) should not contain any lactose anymore.

        Most cheeses you put on a sandwich here in Estonia aren’t aged very long at all. The ones you eat as a snack are.

        Also some people who think they are lactose intolerant, will still get diarrhoea from lactose free dairy products. These people actually have milk protein allergies I suspect. Because some of those people also can’t eat wheat products.

        My ex is one. Milk, aged cheese or just plain white bread. Or even ducking pasta. All make her shit violently.

      Conversely, as someone who is lactose intolerant and doesn’t want to shit themself, y’all can keep your expensive cheese cause it ain’t worth it (unless it’s on a burger or pizza, then break out the nose plugs).

        The expensive ones don’t have lactose so you must have a protein allergy instead of or in addition to your lactose intolerance.
