"The vast majority of people of color in this country are intolerant of lactose and yet, because they think they have to eat [dairy], 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.

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.

"We need to remove dairy as a food group," said Amie Hamlin, from the Coalition for Healthy School Food, which advocates for plant-based diets in schools.

Of course the Dairy category is racist. Why did it take so long to notice? Dairy is segregated from the rest of the food groups on the above image. Looks like ChooseMyPlate.gov is Racist, too. Whose idea was it to make the Dairy plate so small and wall it off from the Big Plate? Oh, the Humanity...
Who, exactly, is forcing any lactose-intolerant person to consume dairy? Is there a Dairy Mafia I'm not aware of? Anyone?
