Surprising claim in food feedback: Dairy guidelines are racist

Several members of the public called the government's dietary guidelines racist for historically endorsing milk, yogurt, and cheese as part of a nutritious diet, and recommended dropping dairy from the new version of the guidelines set to be released next year.

"The vast majority of people of color in this country are intolerant of lactose and yet, because they think they have to eat this stuff, they go out and eat it and get sick," Milton Mills, a physician from Gilead Medical Group in Washington, D.C., said in a public meeting Thursday. "It is outrageous to have a committee that does not reflect the American population."

Mills said he was originally speaking to call out the "racism that is inherent in the U.S. dietary guidelines," but upon seeing the committee lacking any minorities, he understood why it was a problem.

LOL to much that is just hilarious. Everyone knows that there's NO white people that are lactose intolerant. That's why the almond farmer's have to get up so early to milk all the almonds.🤣

Pork Bellies would be on the up swing if just tossed all the waste to the help like we use too. Let them find their own collards. Who needs butter and cheese but the French anyway.

I am white and I am Lactose intolerant.
I enjoy a dairy products like cheese and I see, and have never seen racism in any of there commercials. Could it be because it is a European creation? I guess now days anything associated with white people is racist!

In the mean time keep on enjoying those technologies invented by whites, like electricity, medical advances in science and technology or that cellphone or smart device you are using. Thank a white person!

I grew up next to a dairy farm. The cows were bi-racial. They were black and white. They were called Holsteins. They might have had some Jewish blood also, not sure.

Northwest Woodsman: I like my coffee plain instead of black! I’m so tired of people who stay awake at night thinking of ways they can link racism with every facet of our lives. Integration and affirmative action, both of which have and will continue to be abject failures, are responsible for this nonsense. The more we pander to these people, the more demands they will make.
