    I'm convinced yogurt is one of these mana-from-heaven miracle foodstuffs. I'm not talking about the sugary glop that retails in U.S. supermarkets, but fresh yogurt with no additives, synthetic preservatives or thickening/coloring agents. As a yogurholic, I was very impressed when I came across a stat documenting that the shepherds of the Caucasus Mountains routinely live into their 100s. Their diet is extremely sheep's milk yogurt-intensive.

    It probably has a lot to do with the "good bacteria" present in yogurt cultures, which promote an uber-efficient digestive cycle and help your stomach and intestines to break down nutrients.

    Seriously though, that picture is the stuff of nightmares. I've always been a bit yogurt ambivalent. But I just can't look at someone covered in bacteria cultures good or bad. Seems wrong. I just want to bathe her, and never let her near dairy again. Parents always think this stuff is friggin cute. Why? Why is a child covered in pink goo, which will shortly turn into a putrid, milk-asshole stink (because anything milky that's left out and made gradually warm ostensibly smells like ass), just as it becomes sticky, filmy, and overtly more disgusting by the minute ...why is this a time immortalization ? Food + Face = Nasty Crap parents should never condone, unless they're prepared to eat everything that sticks to their offspring's face. Because let's see how cute regurgitated okra tastes.

    RMHMH is not one to tell people how to raise their kids - it's hard under the best of circumstances. However, there is yogurt for sale and marketed to kids made by Oreo and Trix (for FAT kids), among others. Parents are able to decide in the vast dairy section of the grocery store that they can give their kids good, healthy yogurt or Trix yogurt. It's a conscious decision.

    People have been eating yogurt for decades to replenish the natural bacteria in their gut while taking antibiotics. Dannon just figured out a way to make it seem like it was something new.
