Soothing the savage breast ping.

Maybe they still drank it a lot, but self-selected for enjoyment of farts.

In college, a quart of milk was my on-the-go quick meal.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I’ve heard that Chinese and other Asians tend toward lactose intolerance. Eating dairy is a European thing.

[NCBraveheart]

It was Bush’s fault!

[ScaniaBoy]

Oh, darn. I guess we will just have to hand back our ill gotten possessions. Wonder when the UN will start an agency for displaced Swedish hunter gatherers?

Stone Age Scandinavians unable to digest milk
________________________________________________________

Modern Scandinavians unable to digest Islamic immigrants.

In 5000 years maybe a scientist will discover that the Swedes once had blonde hair and were a different genetic group than the current Swedish population.

[70th Division]

The bad news, they were not able to digest milk

The good news, they had no cows.

[married21]

Good thing they could digest vodka.

[Vaduz]

The researchers’ current work involves investigating the genetic makeup. Well I guess it must be true how could data like that be wrong./s

[rlmorel]

Hm. Not one picture yet of Swedish Swim Team models. I think it ties directly into milk production and consumption.

This is the epitome of Cognitive Dissonance.

“Look! Og drinking from Mastadon! Don’t he know that he will get tummy-ache?”

[rlmorel]

"...Go ahead. Ask us about our milk. Do you feel lucky? Well...do ya...punk?"

[WesternCulture]

The Vikings, on the other hand, consumed large amounts of milk. Excavations have shown that some Viking farms housed up to 100 dairy cattle.

Keeping cows at a large scale was common, not only in Denmark and southern Sweden (which is the warmest and most fertile part of Scandinavia), but even in Iceland were some farms had up to 60 cows.

So, if the people that inhabited Scandinavia during the Stone Age were lactose intolerant, something drastic evidently must have happened between that time and the Viking Age.

Well, if we can't drink milk, I guess we'll have to . . . .
