Likewise, a focus on milk and dairy in the United States was also fuelled by a particular fear and focus on anti-Chinese immigration, which individuals – as an aggregate – possess relatively high rates of lactose intolerance. In the United States, particularly, in the 1920s and 1930s, milk came to represent a unique product which seemed to embody new ‘technologies’ of pasteurization, commercialization, and nutrition coupled with a seemingly intrinsic connection to white citizenship: a commodity fetish seemingly unifying both ‘intelligence’ and ‘race’. For example, a journal produced by the National Dairy Council in the 1920s proclaimed:

The people who have achieved, who have become large, strong, vigorous people, who have reduced their infant mortality, who have the best trades in the world, who have an appreciation for art, literature and music, who are progressive in science and every activity of the human intellect are the people who have used liberal amounts of milk and its products. (Olsen, 32)

Similarly, an agricultural history of New York from the 1930s asserted:

A casual look at the races of people seems to show that those using much milk are the strongest physically and mentally, and the most enduring of the people of the world. Of all races, the Aryans seem to have been the heaviest drinkers of milk and the greatest users of butter and cheese, a fact that may in part account for the quick and high development of this division of human beings. (Hedrick 362-363)
