Well, the death rate and birth rate went way up, and people who
really couln't tolerate the shit got rarer and rarer.
Still, they are not so rare that a Ray Audette won't appear in
the general population of his end of the gene pool.
People, like dogs, come in breeds. But remember a dog both
breeds at a very young age compared to a human, and a dog has "unnatural
selection" to make Great Danes and Chiwawahs in the same species. With
humans, exogamy will occure if the histamine index isn't too off, ya know?
The best thing to do is to remove foods you have a tolerance for
in favor of foods you have an adaptation for.
