Great post! I don’t know where the disconnect came in. People in the US used to live the same way, just a generation or two ago. Regardless, living life in that manner is a key to a long, healthy, happy life.

Thanks again for reminding us of the dangers of sedintary living!

I am from Switzerland, but cannot remember that our diet is something special. I remember Bircher Muesli coming out of the plastic pack (man made) and I never heard of grass-fed beef being sold in our grocery stores. The meat you buy at the grocery stores is clearly grain fed.

I also remember people being lazy and driving around in their cars instead of walking.

Fast Food has hit Switzerland and obesity is growing.

I may need to move from the city to a chalet high up somewhere in the alps to get the goodies you are blogging about.

Where have you been anyway? You clearly enjoyed your stay.

Cheers

@ Jane: I was up in the mountains in the Graubunden region so it was very old fashioned with not a fast food store in sight. Of course cheap junk food could be purchased in supermarkets but all the restaurants served good real food and the meat was from the local region and was all definitely grass fed and free roaming. It was a great trip and Switzerland is an amazing country!

@ Jennifer: Its awesome that your living in that type of environment. As leaving a big city really made me realize how much pent up stress it causes, it took me a few days of peaceful surroundings to not feel as if I should be on the go or doing something all the time. Thanks for checking in on the blog….
