Lactose intolerance is very rare here in the Netherlands, as you can imagine. I always feel bad for people who have it, since milk and cheese are pretty fundamental to the Dutch diet.

I’m with you on giving up meat vs. cheese. I’ve gone days without meat, and could probably go vegetarian if I needed to. But vegan? Absolutely not. Cheese pizza is life. I’d sooner kill myself than give up cheese. It’s not happening.
