Switzerland Is Prepping... 18,000 Tons of Coffee

What Does a Spider Have to Do With Coffee and Yes, YOU Can Improve Your Health!

Greetings to all,

I was born and raised in Switzerland, and get the monthly Swiss Review for Swiss Expats. I was surprised to learn that Swiss people are some of the highest consumers of coffee in the world.

Since the world wars, Switzerland has kept supplies of vital necessities to keep the Swiss population fed a daily 2300 calories diet for 3-4 months, in case a new crisis emerges.

In 2019, the government did not think that coffee, which has practically no nutritional value, was an important part of this emergency stockpile and was going to remove it. There was an outcry from the population, and coffee is now stockpiled - 18,000 tons of it - on “psychological ground.”

Coffee is an interesting “food.” It actually acts more like a drug than a food, and is sometimes demonized, sometimes idolized.
