Dividing line in lactase persistence appears to coincide with the border between Belgium and the Netherlands. This could explain the difference in annual milk consumption: 238kg for BE, 320kg (!) for NE. I was always impressed by the huge dairy isles in Dutch supermarkets...
More of a gradient although the Rhine may give it a step. Part of a more general correlation between lactase persistence & Protestantism. Once stationary pastoralists could print their own Bibles they rebelled against the wheat-and-fish Catholics, with many caught between.
That's fascinating! Agree core cultural dividing line BE & NL = Catholicism vs Protestantism. The Dutch had to claim their land from the ocean, perhaps having to deal with floods more often they taught themselves to extract more calories from less animals. https://canvasandcrumpets.com/2016/04/14/the-saint-elizabeths-day-flood-rijksmuseum-amsterdam/ …pic.twitter.com/UYFdKngcRc
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sea_flood_of_1953 … "Floods covered 9% of Dutch farmland, and sea water flooded 1,365 km2 (527 sq mi) of land. An estimated 30,000 animals drowned"pic.twitter.com/766Dnh1XKe
Hurricane Harvey flooded 36,000 sq miles in Texas- Louisiana. Up to 60 inches of rain. Destroying or damaging 204,000 homes and businesses in August 2017. Mother Nature surely holds the Trump Card in both cases.
