I don’t know why I feel compelled to Blog about yogurt, because I don’t even like it that much. I mean, I like it, but not as much as I like…say…pudding, but I do like it. I think the reason I don’t like it more is because of the live cultures that are in yogurt, which is the very essence of yogurt. I just get creeped out when I think about what I am eating as being “alive”. I don’t know…it just bothers me a little, but I still enjoy yogurt on a fairly regular basis.
Anyway….the real point of this blog about yogurt is to inform you that I like and appreciate eating yogurt in all its many forms.
Have you given any thought to how many ways you can get yogurt these days. I have. You can get it in a plastic tube and eat it frozen or refrigerated. You can get it in a bottle and drink it. You can get it thick-and-creamy, regular thickness, whipped, custard style, fruit on the bottom, fruit mixed in. You can get yogurt that will help you “go” more regularly, or my personal favorite….carbonated. That’s right, carbonated yogurt, in a plastic tube, eat it frozen, eat it thawed….delicious either way. Oh and lets not forget good ole’ frozen yogurt, yummy. That’s twelve different forms of yogurt, and there may be more that I’m not recalling right now. Not to mention it’s also available in different caloric values: fat, fat-free and reduced fat or “lite”.
I never realized how many different possibilities yogurt had until my new neighbors moved in. My new neighbor is a yogurt mechanic. That’s right; he works for Dannon fixing yogurt related production machines. He recently brought us a big box of several different varieties of yogurt which added to the collection of yogurt I already had in my refrigerator which consisted of thick-and-creamy, regular, carbonated-tube and regular-tube yogurt.
I now have seven different varieties of yogurt, and I’m not just talking about flavors, in my fridge at this moment. So I guess I have my work cut out for me Don’t I? I better just get over the whole “live culture” creepiness thing, because I’m the only one who eats yogurt in this house and I have to have it all eaten by June 9th, and I’m not about to let free yogurt go to waste. Wish me luck. I feel lucky to be living in such a land of plenty.

I find that eating yogurt is easier if I remind myself that everything has live stuff all in and on it. At least with yogurt you know which live things you're getting.
Of course, it makes it hard to eat anything else, but it makes the yogurt more palatable.
If that doesn't work, you can just eat frozen yogurt. The freezing kills everything, right?
just serve your yogurt at your NKOTB party!
Zach love yogurt. He would eat five yogurts at a sitting (and has) if I would let him. It's freaky.
At the pharmacy I often get asked about what to do to treat diarrhea after taking an antibiotic. I explain that many antibiotics (augmentin for example) can kill off the good bacteria in the GI tract as well as the BAD bacteria in your body that make you sick. I then recommend buying and eating yogurt with live active cultures to replace the good bacteria in the GI tract that have been killed off. Many people say: "you mean that yogurt has live bacteria in it?" to which I respond, "yes..."
I love my job.
I need to branch out in the Yogurt department. I had no idea there were so many kinds! :)
