The Yogurt Reduction

I do not want “Low Fat Yogurt” for my children.   Fat removal is typically replaced with various forms of sugars, simply so the label can have that “low fat” claim.   My children don’t need more sugar (trust me, they get enough of it already).

I had thought we were taking a turn away from the low fat craze based on documentaries I’ve seen and articles I’ve read, but apparently the yogurt industry isn’t changing directions because there are even less “regular” yogurt options now than there were not that long ago.

The good news is the few basic flavors my children like (peach, strawberry, vanilla, blueberry, black cherry) are still available in the regular variety.   There are two little people in this house who are quite fond of yogurt.

The Big Boy Update:  My son is going to have a new teacher in his class tomorrow.   I told him about it tonight, thinking he would be excited since he knows and really likes this other teacher.   His response?  “But she doesn’t have smooth skin.  I’m shy at people who don’t have smooth skin.”

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:   My daughter has a new favorite song.  She found it herself and I agree with her, it’s a good song.   She asked Alexa to, “play Moonrise”.   Alexa offered Moonrise by Brian Crane.   We’ve been listening to it a lot—very calm and soothing.

Not as Far as We Wanted:  This weekend was our twenty-four mile run, but schedules are schedules and with children, work and activities, there was just no way we were getting in twenty-four unless we started running at four-thirty in the morning—which neither of us wanted to do.   So we got in eleven miles, which seemed like a short run after our last several weeks.
