Well maybe most of the planet doesn't consume all that much milk. There
seems to be something of a racial factor to lactose intolerance.
Europeans tend to have a relatively low rate of lactose intolerance,
about 18-26%. Only about 4% of Swedes are lactose intolerant. Africans
and Asian have rates of 75-95%.
