The French are right. When you have fabled cuisine, lauded all over the world as the gold standard… you get resistant to change. And rightfully so.
Putain, non, is indeed the proper response to said question.
So France is intolerant towards lactose intolerant people and towards those with specific ethical dietary preferences. And that rightfully so! Be an asshole towards others! It's "in" these days and Paris has been known for being trendy. /s
Lactose intolerant people can drink black coffee, non?
Yes.
If you can't drink milk, don't drink milk. Drink the coffee without the milk. Or drink water or wine or tea or whatever else they serve.
When did a lack of little luxury accommodations like these milk substitutes become intolerance?
Does stocking milk ethically require that you stock alternatives for those who want something like milk, but can't have it?
Exactly. If someone wants or needs to avoid certain products, that’s great. There’s plenty of options. But it’s not a restaurant’s job to cater to every whim. They can’t always have everything.
I can’t have fish. My brother is allergic to peanuts. So I eat dishes without fish, he eats them without peanuts. I’m not going to ask for the ‘fishless salmon’.
Intolerance would be getting mad at someone for asking milk alternatives, which is what's criticized here.
Not sure what America has to do with what I said. Don't try generalizing people, it's just discriminating for no reason and it doesn't work.
I was refering to @FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 's comment being aggressive and upset with the "Putain, non". It's just conservative because clearly they know what consumers really want, and it's not change, right, right?
So? I'm sorry but I don't get how that's related to the discussion.
Sure, they can. It's just that there's no need to feel offended at someone asking for a milk alternative.
