When I first noticed this, I thought it was coincidence. However, up until now, every jew I've spent more than just a few minutes getting to know have eventually farted in public. Is it genetical or is it some cultural thing the Talmud teaches?
Have someone else noticed this. I'm 100% serious, this is not something I just made up. The jews I met all have farted around people several times. I'm not saying others don't do it too, but every jew I've met have done it so they seem a bit overrepresented.
Hello,
I'm an atheist semite, my family was Jewish, of Ashkenazi (AKs) lineage, and I have the problem of excess flatulence. It is very embarrassing and made my grade school experience a living hell due to being teased for it. I think there are several reasons why Jews pass gas often. According to a wikipedia article, the AKs had an evolutionary bottleneck and only about 400 families were left to interbreed. Judaism predated the romans and it had a prohibition against infanticide, unlike the other civilizations, so children that should have been killed due to genetic conditions were allowed to live and reproduce. For this reason we see a massive increase in the number of genetically related diseases in AKs, 1:1,000 vs 1:5,000 non AK. The flatulence thing in my family is due to intolerance to fructose and lactose. We never evolved the ability to digest these foods which are common ingredients in the modern diet. Another factor could be that Jews tend to have stocky frames so they eat more and produce more gas. Not all Jews are like this, many people in my family digest food perfectly well on my mother's side, however many do have it on my father's side. My father has a BS in marketing but ended up working as a mechanic probably because he was too gassy to work in office (sad). Other genetic problems I have are: allergies, asthma, partial folate metabolism slowing, male pattern baldness, mental problems (depression) and overweight. For religious jews marrying other religious jews is very important so there is little chance to get rid of the bad genes. In my family, marriage to less intelligent people has resulted in a lowering of intelligence and lack of success for many. There really is no way to fix this problem except to select out kids by either doing genetic testing beforehand or killing them before they reproduce. Jewish law actually allows a parent to take a disobedient child before a council to be put to death but this apparently didn't do enough to weed out the sickly kids. I haven't had any kids, I don't want them to suffer. Having Jewish genes sucks. I think Hitler and the other countries were right to try to improve the genetic stock through eugenics. We need to do this en masse. Best wishes.
