The French love this sterilized milk too. It tastes horrible. It's one of the things I hate about going on vacation there (right after the French themselves). Besides, the sterilization kills the good things in the milk too so you might as wel drink water.

It's funny how we think the taste of pasteurized milk is normal, in Los Angeles, California restaurants can be fined for selling non-pasteurized cheese. For health reasons.. :dunno
My parents ate non pasteurized cheese, milk, yogurts all their life. I drank pasteurized milk product most of my life and I'm lactose intolerant now and so is my wife, sister in law, a bunch of friends (and many ppl from my generation).

That's right Jim.
We also use salt as our currency, we believe the world is flat, we marry members of our immediate family as a matter of course.
We're hoping to introduce refrigeration, refrigerated trucks and pasteurization soon to the UK, but we need to abolish slavery and give women the right to vote first.
Anyway... Must dash, I'm off to have tiffin tea with the queen (and other commonly held mis-conceptions about our backward island) ::)

Well there could be a lot of bacteria in raw milk. Are supermarkets allowed to sell raw milk (products)? In the Netherlands they can only sell pasteurized milk and in the discount stores you can buy the un refrigerated sterilized junk. Raw milk (products) can only be bought from a farm. To avoid confusion I guess (so pregnant women don't accidentily buy raw milk).

Yeah, it's nice that they don't want to subject us to bacteria for health reasons but in the end it just makes us weaker, causes allergies and generally makes us less resistant to actually harmful bacteria.

maybe you'll discover ice cubes for your beverages too :P
