Camelicious

The latest fad trying to come out of Dubai is camel milk. It contains five times as much vitamin C as cow's milk with less than half the fat content (2%), is rich in anti-bacterial enzymes and can be drunk by people with lactose intolerance. It took a while to build automated dairies so that the milk could travel straight from the udder to the cooling tank and then to the processing plant (more hygienic than milking by hand into bowls in sandstorms) and great trouble was taken to build appropriate milking machines as camels' udders are far less uniform than cows'. Anyway, camel milk is very popular in the UAE and they're planning to branch into ice cream and chocolate. Currently they are not allowed to sell milk products to the EU because of foot and mouth disease. As camels are resistant to foot and mouth, they are hoping to be exempt from this ruling.
