The company has plans to open new Arab markets starting with Saudi Arabia soon. Then they intend to expand to Europe, Japan, and the United States. Al Nassma was established in October of 2008 and hopes to eventually manufacture and sell 100 tons of camel's milk chocolate a year. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090721/od_nm/us_chocolate_camel_odd

they mention that camel's milk has more insulin, 5x more vit.c, and less fat and lactose than cow's milk. i don't think i could eat the chocolate though. it took me years to try goat's milk fudge (i like it) but camel's milk, i'm thinkin' yuck.

I don't remember it either but, then again, I'm getting long in the tooth and don't claim to be responsible for anything that happened before breakfast of the current day.

And when you can't remember where you left the keys to your camel, it's time the state took over your medication.

I've got to go now, nurse says if I get over excited she'll be forced to use the ice-water sponge again. *shudder*
