I suppose.  ;)  But I could just as well ignore the lettuce at breakfast
as at dinner or lunch, too, in that case... ;)  I forget, were these
particularly "breakfast" burritos (ie eggs and meat and cheese, like a
burrito form of a McD breakfast muffin/bagel/etc), or regular lunch-type
ones...?  I've seen the breakfast sort in the frozen cases at the
supermarket... ;)

So apparently their usual clientele likes their food saltier than
normal...?  Oh, dear...

Sometimes, perhaps, the lactose-intolerant are grasping for straws...
and maybe some are more intolerant of the protein instead of the
lactose, but just don't know it...  :)

And being something not regularly undertaken can make it a little more

It is indeed possible.  Especially with a predilection towards the
intolerance built into the genes... Bottle-fed would get a different mix
of nutrients, including the lactose and the fats and the proteins...
they still are finding some things in mother's milk that they never knew
about, and make a big tout about them when they add them to the
formulas....  I'm a little surprised she didn't know about the high
lactose content in mother's milk, since she was also involved with
LaLecheLeague as a young mother... :)  Maybe the leaders in her group(s)
didn't go into that as much as in the groups I was part of...  :)
