[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YoBaby (I think by Stonyfield) is good.  The "baby food" stage went really fast for us - it was not long until DS was eating Greek yogurt, and generally anything else that we were eating, but the YoBaby was a hit for quite a while.[/quote]

I looked at the YoBaby products and was shocked at the amount of sugar in them. I think it was about 24 grams per serving! They are sickeningly sweet. It's unfortunate that those are about the only brands that have flavored whole milk yogurts. I'd stick with plain yogurt and mix in some fruit if needed.[/quote]

Yes. Stonyfield has wayyy too much sugar in their yogurt products. And if you're adding fruit puree to that, you're increasing it even more.

We buy only Greek yogurt...Fage 0% for us olds, Dannon Oikos full fat (coconut, banana cream) for the kid. I'm not wedded to Dannon, but [b]it's really hard to find full fat Greek yogurt anywhere.[/b][/quote]

Yes, thanks to people like you who buy Fage 0% in a mistaken belief that fat makes you fat or is bad for you. I really hate that I can't get the full-fat version anywhere anymore. Fortunately, TJ's still has full fat Greek yogurt. I often make a special trip to TJ's just for that.[/quote]

Well, no.  I am not PP I try to get 30% of my calories from fat and 30% of my calories from protein.  And I eat a lot, so I need about 160 grams n a day.

of protei Fat free greek yogurt has 24 grams of protein per 120 calories.  I don't think I could choke down enough full fat greek yogurt to get 24 grams of protein in one sitting.  I get lots of fat from oils, eggs, avocados, nuts, fish, meat, etc.   We do full fat cheese, milk, etc.   I like to mix my nonfat greek yogurt with ricotta cheese and nuts.  So no, not everyone who eats fat free greek yogurt is a fat-phobic idiot.

My point is, try to not be so simple-minded.  People have different reasons for eating different foods.  [/quote]

Fair enough. But you will have a hard time disputing that the limited availability of full-fat Greek (or, for that matter, regular) yogurt is due to a widespread idea, especially in this country, that low-fat is better, not due to most people counting grams of protein in their diet. That was my point, and it still holds even if not for your individual case. My apologies for making a wrong assumption about you, Anonymous.[/quote]
