Sorry to tell you but the milk that you are drinking in Mexico is as real as it gets. The milk in the states is what's not real. Don't worry you'll get use to it, I did. Or do what my step daughter does when she comes and visits us here in Mexico from California she puts some sugar. That should be the closet you can get.

That's the real stuff there. Not that watered down pansy stuff that gringos drink. If there's a disaster, Americans wouldn't make it.

~*~ I don't know where you are in Mexico.. I am from Mexico and when I'm down there I buy a gallon of milk just like I do here in the US every week.. ~*~

I don't know WHERE the Hell you are shopping, friend, are you sure that you're not in Guatemala or Cuba by mistake? Mexico does have some "boxed" unrefrigerated milk with preservatives (uggggh!) but that is because the poorest and most rural areas may lack the refrigeration!

In ANY town or city in Mexico you can buy fresh, refrigerated, high-quality milk such as Lala, Alpura and Al Dia. It even comes in a) regular carton, b) carton with spout or c) plastic bottle! (The milk in Mexico is actually fresher and with less chemicals and other preservatives than in the USA!)

You can ALWAYS find fresh milk in: Gigante, Comercial Mexicana, Superama, Sumesa, Bodega Aurrera, Chedraui, Wal-Mart. etc. Oh, and practically ANY hole-in-the-wall corner store in any town or village in the country! I just walked down to my tiny corner store yesterday to pick up a liter of fresh, refrigerated milk for my son's breakfast cereal, expiry date 6 days. cost 80 cents US. (I live in the north of Mexico City......)

( Oh, MILK down here is called LECHE - maybe THAT'S yer problem, does that help?)

Exactly what part of Mexico are you in? Ive lived in Mexico and there are alot of supermarkets that carry fresh milk. My guess would be that in some rural parts of mexico where there isnt access to a mass merchandise supermarket they would carry unrefrigerated milk just because of the lack of basic things such as a refrigerator or a car to go to the nearest city. that milk is meant to last longer and preserve without refrigeration. otherwise i would try to find a calimax or a comercial mexicana or even a walmart.

sure they have a lot of kinds of milk, check this sites:
http://www.lala.com.mx/productos/index.html
http://www.alpura.com/alpura/index.htm
look at : "leche semidescremada" and " leche ligth"
look at the market, and there are lots of walmarts if you want cereal.

Are you sure it's just not the pasteurized, homogenized processing that you miss?
