牛奶在当代美国被赋予很高的文化价值。它的白色颜色，与母性和田园的联系，以及在圣经中反复提到，为这种主要的国家农业商品增加了积极的象征意义。因此，毫不奇怪，美国有影响力的决策机构建议所有美国群体食用牛奶。尽管生物人类学家已经证明了成年人消化牛奶的能力存在差异，但这一点仍然存在。这篇文章评估了美国各种关于牛奶消费的“故事”及其与生物变异的关系，并对乳糖酶活性/乳糖耐受性变异的生物人类学解释进行了分析。其中许多作为正常化的话语，最终病理化的生物差异，并可能破坏一些民族的饮食传统。特别是，政府和乳制品行业之间的密切关系导致政策未能认真考虑不同美国人群的消化生理变化。
Cow's milk is accorded a high cultural value in the contemporary United States. Its white color, association with the maternal and the pastoral, and repeated mention in the Bible add positive symbolic weight to this major national agricultural commodity. Thus, it comes as no surprise that influential policy-making institutions in the United States recommend milk consumption for all U.S. groups. This is despite variation in adult populations' abilities to digest milk, which has been documented by biological anthropologists. This article assesses various U.S. “stories” about milk consumption and its relationship to biological variation against the biological anthropological explanation of variation in lactase activity/lactose tolerance. Many of these serve as normalizing discourses that ultimately pathologize biological difference and may undermine the dietary traditions of some ethnic groups. In particular, the close relationship between government and the dairy industry leads to policies that fail to seriously consider variation in digestive physiology among the diverse U.S. populations.
