I know swizerland has cows coz i've seen them in fields.

So why can I never find blooming milk in the supermarket. No full fat or semi (damn I'd even settle for that watery stuff vegetarians drink).

Just that shocking UHT milk type drink that along with cockroaches would be the only surviving thing after a nuclear war.

You can find it everywhere - just check this thread:

How long to acquire taste for Tetrapaked Milk?

hoorah, I am saved. god less you sir, god bless you.

The cows in Switzerland are purely for decoration and tourist purposes. They are not for milking.

Enjoy it!

you can try any "bio" in Migros for example...
i can guarantee that after you open it it resists maximum 48 hours and than is spoiled...so is not sterilized or UHT or whatever...

Milk Sucks

	Quote:
	Dairy products are a health hazard. They contain no fibre or complex carbohydrates and are laden with saturated fat and cholesterol. They are contaminated with cow's blood and pus and are frequently contaminated with pesticides and antibiotics. Dairy products are linked to allergies, constipation, obesity, heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

Jaysus, next they will be telling us meat is bad for us too...

Oxygen's a radical species. It'll kill you in the end. I'd make the most of while i'm still alive.

Saying about milk, I found that the full fat stuff here makes me feel a bit sick after a few mouthfuls. I can just about cope with the 'drink' (or semi-skimmed, if you prefer), but it's too rich for me. Not a complaint about the milk, just that I'm not hard enough for it. My daughter absolutely loves the stuff, though and seemed somewhat disappointed with the milk back home.

Judge for yourself.

Incidentally, I too enjoy good meat, cheese, milk etc. even though these may not be good for me.

The stuff that you get ab hof is pretty good too. Our girl won't drink milk but gulps that stuff down. She believes that the spout is attached to a cow's udder!

BTW, is there a lactose free milk in switzerland? I'm a lactose intolerant person. Here in Finland, lactose free milks are common but Im not sure in Switzerland. I hope they have lactose free milks

Is there any way of getting skimmed/ 0% milk - and not the UHT stuff? we get the semi-skimmed M Drink stuff but can't find any fully skimmed anywhere apart from the UHT.

You can get it in co-op

yes, it's true -- food is a potentially deadly poison.
studies have shown that 95% of all people die after eating it.

Coop has a whole range called FREE FROM with lactose free products(some are lactose and gluten free even),

http://www.coop.ch/freefrom/sortimen...osefrei-de.htm

and for those who suffer from coeliac disease,the stores also offer a gluten free range for food and drink stuff.

Here's an ,albeit, german list of someone who suffers from Lactose Intolerance and has listed the products that are safe to consumate from Migros,it says on top of the listing, the things marked with a * could still cause problems with people who are suffering from a heavy allergie to lactose.

This is a list of all Migros shops swisswide who carry the gluten and/or lactose free products
http://www.migros.ch/DE/Kundendienst...ents/liste.pdf

Yes, lactose free milk is available in Coop and Migros. At the Coop look for: Coop Free From Drink Milk lactosefrei UHT and at the Migros it is just called Lactosefrei Milch.

If you follow the link below you can get a list of all the gluten and lactose free products sold by the Coop. Hope it helps.

I am not really sure what you are complaining about. The Bio milk here is really good and if you keep it refrigerated, it won't go off that fast either. It's also widely available, even the tiny Coop at the end of my street stocks it. It is not necessary to drink UHT. Full fat is Vollmilch here and Drinkmilch is fat reduced.
If anything, Switzerland does have good milk products, so I can't imagine where you have been doing your shopping.

you can also get lactose free milk in carrefour as well as in coop and migros.

I wouldn't recommend the Free From milk from coop (it tastes like soy milk ), their Weightwatchers Lactose Free Milk is much better!

Surely everyone keeps their milk in the fridge?? I was surprised too at the lack of choice here compared with the UK - only one brand of Bio (which aoppears to be a relatively new product here) and not much of it either. Most Swiss seem to prefer UHT for unknown reasons - it's the same in France, where the rows of UHT predominate.
