No, they become insanely jealous that they consider cows sacred. Or in other cases jellymad that they can't afford to keep cattle, and have to settle for goats and shit.

Indians are just fine with dairy, paneer is a traditional Indian fresh cheese. It's mainly China/Japan/Korea that don't eat it, and cows aren't sacred to them, just less common.

This. I'm in Taiwan, and cheese costs a fucking fortune because the locals don't make or buy it. It all has to be imported at great expense from Europe/USA/Aus/NZ, just for us Western weirdos who actually eat rotted milk products, and most stores don't have any, and the ones that do mostly don't have much of a selection. Have to go to the "foreigner neighborhoods" to find the stuff.

It's called religion. It's the same shit as people who consider unborn fetuses as sacred, or some dude that was alive 2000 years ago sacred.

No because they don't eat it because they're bodies cant handle it, same thing with alcohol. White people have been getting shitfaced and munching on cheese for so long our genes have changed.

I know that Chinese people I've met think it tastes rank and hate the idea of eating it, no idea how universal this is though.

An unusually large amount of east asians are lactose intolerant. Eating cheese is like eating exlax for them. I'm not too sure about the chemistry of cheese making, but adding lactase would throw off growth of the cultures and taste to the point of being indiscernible.

Ok I read about it for a minute, and being lactose intolerant (or not lactose persistent) is more common, except for Europeans. It also says some in some traditional cheeses the cultures break down the lactose to manageable kinds of sugar. Also clarified butter is ok, where as normal butter isn't (not pertinent to the post but interesting)

Lactose intolerance varies within the population. I can eat all the cheese I want with no ill effect, while others might have more trouble. Some cheeses don't have much lactose in them anyway.
>>6303384
Ha, no. People are often squeamish about the unfamiliar, regardless of their culture of origin. My dad, for one, thought of all dairy products as barbarous filth.

It also varies between populations. 92% of Han Chinese are lactose intolerant, that's over a billion people in China alone.

Chinese here, my parents think "hard cheeses" are too dense with fat, they do like soft cheeses though like Queso Fresco and Mozarella, because the flavor is more mild.

But how is that different from any number of other animals, like horses, goats or sheep? Why single out the cow?

Answer: there isn't a reason. Religion is not logical.

In Japan good cheese is expensive, but you can find the expensive and tasteless cheap shit in every single grocery store I've ever been in. Most people in the country eat it, just not that often since its not in most Japanese dishes
