Yep. Elsie, by the way, has been reading about the Inquisition and is convinced that she'll be tortured.
I could see her earning repeated slaps upside the head with the cluestick.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

But that's the point, ginger. It isn't that a single mom can make that change -- the change has to be bigger. Seriously, if I could buy yogurt that had sugar not HfCS in it, I'd consider it a great victory. I know what sugar does to me, I have no clue what HFCS does to me. And I know what it does to the planet.
And -- culturally we have to change. Even in this economy I know a lot of ex-geeks that won't go back to the world that means they don't have time to sit with their family and eat a meal.

There are plenty! (The Puget Consumers Coop doesn't stock anything with HfCS, and they have a lot of yogurt.)
'Course, if you can track down a maker, it's easy to roll your own.

Safeway is my main store -- i guess I'll have to try reading again -- last time I looked at the labels there is was still either no cal sweeteners or hfcs.

Safeway has a "health food" section with yogurts with natural flavors at high prices. But (lower labor than making your own) you can buy plain at Safeway (fat free or not) then add your own flavors. If you want sugars, mix with the HFCS-free jam of your choice, or with fruit juice concentrates.(Plain fat-free Yogurt with a little frozen OJ and a splash of vanilla is of the yum). Or mix with natural fruit or whatever you please.

I usually get plain - it is more flexible. But some days it would be nice to grab and go.
of course, the point wasn't yoghurt -- It is just quick convenient foods don't have to be bad for you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Curse you people! I'm about to pull the trigger on the food/sustainability/gardening/conscious eating blog that's been swimming around in my head, thanks to last night's discussion. And I need a blog name. And I have NO ideas.
