Great. We definitely need more food options in general.  Glad to see there are options without meat, but what about more low fat content, low sugar, no cheese, etc.  A lot of current trends cause problems for people's health.  Too much sugar leads to diabetes.  Too much cheese leads to lactose intolerance.  Too much fat leads to gall stones.  Too much of all of those together and meat leads to IBD issues, heart attack, stroke, obesity, etc.  There should be more variety at all restaurants to accommodate the health of customers.

I'm not an advocate for never eating meat, but the current landscape of restaurants right now is high fat, high saturated fat, high sugar, cheese, meat, etc.  If you don't eat fast food for a while and then grab some fries, the lack of quality and nutrition in them can almost make you sick.  If the vegan, vegetarian movement is creating awareness in what we eat in any way, then I'm all for it.  I'd say that with past patterns, most everyone over the age of 30 is going to end up with a rough road ahead of them; there is more to life than the 15 years between 15 and 30.

Sounds like those people need to make "learning to cook" a new trend or something then

Oh and the "get lactose intolerance from eating too much cheese" thing just sounds made up. I've never heard of that happening before.

He is probably mixing things up on the lactose intolerance (as in there is similar to allergenic that it will only trigger after a certain age or you get more sensitive with exposure)

I'm aware of it... and in USA people would have bacon with the eggs =]

They'd have bacon in the UK too. Having it without.... is just madness! :O

The trending thought is that everyone is lactose intolerant, but some are within the threshold or have healthy enough systems to handle it. Usually if you are young enough to not have destroyed your system prior. But the more cheese and dairy you eat the more it messes with your system and causes lots of issues. Basically everything is bad for you if you only eat enough of it. If you nothing but pizza between the ages of 18 and 30, then there is a very good chance after that, your system will not be able to handle cheese anymore. Same goes with sugar, fat, etc. Your body is a physical thing and, just like any physical thing, will wear out if you overuse it, though same could be said for underuse as well.The problem is that most all food offerings out there are almost exclusively high in fat, cheese, sugar, etc.

I have a friend who never had a problem with dairy. Always ate pizza and other things fine. Then got into a relationship with someone who was always eating cheese items. I’m talking every night it was pizza or fettuccine alfredo or broccoli cheese casserole or baked mac n cheese, etc. He did that for just a year and then suddenly his abs started convulsing and now at the age of 28, cannot have cheese anymore and is on the verge of having his colon removed.

The trends seem to always be changing and going back to the same place.

Perhaps you don't know that the population that is most lactose intolerant are the Asians (a lot among japanese) and the main explanation is that for the previous several gen they weren't drinking cow milk and dairies so their system got unused to it so nowadays they are the most part of the intolerant population.

What you are pointing at seems more like allergies, where some types the person will only trigger at a certain age or due to continuous exposition. Also everyone reacts different so it may not even be some type of abuse.
