Nanny State PING!

Who has the contract and what did it ‘cost’ them?
Nanny State PING!
I do not get the hysteria about Greek yogurt.
All it is: yogurt with less whey.
Why must Taxpayers be fleeced to do a parent's job (i.e., feed their own kids)?
There are so many ways that we pay for "Holder's People", just so we don't call it "Reparations", or we're branded as Racist.
I eat Greek yogurt every day. More protein and less sugar than regular yogurt.
Not sure what’s nanny state about this really- we feed kids lunch at school, right?
I would like to know what it will cost us...
Ma’am, what I am about to say most asssuredly does not pertain to you, but Greek yogurt has a warning on the side label advising that extended consumption may cause bubbles in the head
That explains so much..
I like greek yogurt, but the state shouldn’t force it on ANYONE...
It will probably be some sugar laced version that is over whipped up and tastes like puke....
Instead of the superior store / generic greek yogurt which is better!!!
So it’s the official food of the DNC then?
I can’t stand the greek style. love yogurt ,just not that .
Yeah I don’t get the nanny thing in this situation either.
I have been eating either a bologna or peanut butter sandwhich for lunch since first grade in 1955.
I love Greek yogurt. To cut the sugar further, I buy the plain, add artificial sweetener. vanilla, fresh fruit, and chopped nuts. Great breakfast!
Yepp...look at Greece economy.:-)
Actually raising kids to eat some strained yoghurt (Greek yoghurt), is not a bad idea, if it is live culture. This is because there are an increasing number of antibiotic resistant bacteria strains out there, and the best way to protect yourself is to have a healthy intestinal flora.
Even better than Greek yoghurt is “Kefir”, which has a whole bunch of different digestive bacteria strains in it. It tastes like a yoghurt smoothy, and is often fruit flavored and sweeter tasting, though it is low fat.
To make it even better, combining it with a “prebiotic”, that contains ‘oligofructose inulin’ (also called fructo-oligosaccharide). It is a water soluble fiber you don’t digest, that the bacteria can feed on deep in the colon to establish a strong colony.
Banana has about 1 gram of inulin to 100 grams, but sweet tasting and crunchy jicama root has about 6 grams in a cup of slices. It is a good snack, as it is low calorie, and about its only flavor is a mild sweetness.
It’s a good idea, if it’s a choice. In some schools I’ve encountered, salads are a choice, and quite a few students get them.
I avoid anything with “Greek” in the label
