I also, like you, started to be intolerant at a certain age, but according to the doctors <br />I have always been it's just that I haven't felt any discomfort while drinking milk. (I discovered it because I drank lots of coffee with milk, just a bit of milk, not the American latte style, and apparently for milk intolerant people the mixture of milk and coffee is the worst ;-) <br />Now I take soy milk in coffee and feel great!Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-14631914312692872322011-07-14T17:09:52.523+09:002011-07-14T17:09:52.523+09:00Anonymous: I am one of many Japanese who have fon...Anonymous: I am one of many Japanese who have fond memories of kyushoku.

(I wasn't when I was small, though.)<br /><br />The parent of a child who is allergic to certain foodstuffs or is lactose intolerant is requested to fill out the form and submit it to the school, and the school will accommodate the request.<br /><br />I asked my daughter if she knew of anyone who cannot drink milk and has a special meal, and she replied she didn't. She only knows one friend who is allergic to eggs and has a special meal.<br /><br />One participant asked why milk is (almost) always served for school lunch, and here is a summary of the reply of the nutrition teacher:<br />It is stipulated by law that a school lunch shall provide one half of the calcium requirements per day (and also one half of vitamin B1 and B2 requirements), and milk is an ideal foodstuff to meet the need.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-29173872935260063862011-07-14T15:01:11.711+09:002011-07-14T15:01:11.711+09:00Thank you so much for a fascinating look at school...Thank you so much for a fascinating look at school lunches in Japan! I lived in Japan as a child and teenager and always thought the Japanese school lunches I saw on television looked so delicious. Later, I saw a television program (Burari tochu gesha no tabi) which featured a Japanese restaurant which served school lunches and my interest in school lunches was renewed.

A very interesting post! I am very curious of what follows!<br />What surprises me however here and in the forum threads you indicated is the presence of milk. Many people are lactose intolerant (I am), it's not an allergy, but means that milk does me more harm than good and certainly doesn't bring any calcium to my organism (cheese, yogurt, sour milks etc. don't contain lactose or almost don't contain and are advised as calcium sources). I have read the lactosis intolerance depends on the country. Japan is among the countries with the highest rate (this is a very interesting world map:<br />http://powerofthegene.com/joomla/index.php/genetically-inherited-diseases/metabolic-disorders/lactose-intolerance). <br />Apparently this intolerance starts about the age of six. Is it taken into consideration in the school meals? It is quite difficult to diagnose (belly aches are I think the only thing felt by the "patient").Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.com
