If you didn’t already know, the ability to digest lactose in adulthood is actually an anomaly—human beings by default were unable to digest lactose until a mutation occurred about 10,000 years ago that gave certain populations a lactase persistence gene. Indeed, in many parts of the world (such as in East Asia), a majority of people are lactose intolerant, as it remained the default state of being for the population there.
Therefore, instead of trying to give lactose intolerant people the ability to digest lactose, I propose we recognize the true genetic normal of humankind and take the ability away from people who can digest it.
(And yes, I did just watch that one HGModernism video, how can you tell)
