[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are gogurts considered processed? It's yogurt, just in a tube...[/quote]

Well, they have ingredients that aren't great: modified corn starch (likely GMO), artificial colors like red #40, carrageenan. Non organic milk used to make the yogurt, so they likely come from cows treated with antibiotics and hormones.[/quote]

OK, so stonyfield farm in a cup with a spoon? Is that better? I'm not the OP, just seriously asking...[/quote]

I'm the one you are quoting from above. A step up for gogurt is the stonyfield or other organic brand of yogurt squeezers. Step up from that is yes, a cup of stonyfield or other organic with a spoon. Like another poster, my kids get whole milk plain organic yogurt (from trader joes usually) and I know it's technical processed, but I feel good about it. We add fruit and a little granola.

I am not 100% organic or everything from scratch, who has the time for that? But I will try to limit additional ingredients like the ones I listed above and attempt to get the best versions of what I can. [/quote]

I'm bothered by the high sugar content of the flavored yogurts but haven't had success with getting my son to eat the plain (even with fruit mixed in).  I've been buying the quart containers of plain and strawberry or blueberry and mixing them half/half to reduce the sugar content. Wish they'd just make it that way. [/quote]
