Do Asians eat Dairy Products?!

I guess your Asia and Asian means Chinese in China?
Regarding to 'short and tiny', you are generalizing all of them. There are many tall people in China.
Generally some Chinese do take dairy products but the percentage may be much lower than western countries.
Calcium rich foods include some fishes, vegetables, soybean (soybean products - tofu), some beans, some seeds, some nuts, breads, grains and some fruits so one doesn't need to take only dairy products to get calcium.
Yes, soybean products are popular like soy drink, tofu, douhua (known as tofu puddings), bean curd sheets, bean curd sticks and soybean paste used for cooking.
Anyone who has calcium deficiency will affect their health including having certain symptoms like pallid skin, tiredness, and muscle aches and twitches.

I would think they get their calcium through milk, or yogurt. They definitely eat a lot of vegetables, they're in most of their meals. I think soy is pretty big in Asia too, but if anyone doesn't have enough calcium in their diet Asian, or not it will effect your health negatively.

In Japan, this was a big problem until recently. Now, Elementary schools serve both milk and yoghurt with the school lunch, which has increased the calcium in-take among children in Japan.

i am asian. you say it like asians ONLY live in asia. no no. i live in hawaii, and no i dont eat dairy products. but this is because of my allergies, so i try to avoid eating anything dairy. and it SUCKS!!! LOL

Many Asians are lactose intolerant and thus can't get calcium from dairy products but there are other ways to get calcium in one's diet.

Yes, but as far as I know they eat much less than other cultures do. They are more apt to have soy. They joke that Americans smell like cows because we eat so much dairy.lol

YOUAREANIGNORANTMORON!!!

They have cows in asia so I'm pretty sure they've broken that code

yes all the time
