I ate a yogurt this morning. Or better, I tried to do. It was 5.3oz of the stuff (for my readers outside the USA, that’s 150g, whatever a gram is), which proved too much for me. This happens a lot. I cannot complete a supposedly single-serving container of yogurt (the container says: serving size: 1 container). I am a normal-sized* person, and the issue is not my capacity for yogurt. Nor my taste for breakfast. I simply cannot stomach that much yogurt in one sitting. And yet, to reseal a single-serving container is impossible, and to return to it later would be appalling anyway.
This is an epidemic. Mine was a Trader Joe’s Icelandic Style, but the Trader Joe’s Greek Yogurt in the fridge also weighed in at 5.3oz. Chobani’s packages: also 5.3oz. So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Milk Yogurt? 5.3oz. Likewise Fage Total Greek Yogurt. Siggi’s? 5.3 infuriating ounces. Even the tapered yogurtine cylinder of my deep memories, Yoplait: 6—six—ounces of bacterially fermented milk and flavoring, although its thinner composition makes such a heft of cultured protein more tolerable.
What you want is 3.5oz (100g) of yogurt. This is my message for you today. Good luck and be careful.
*I am unfortunately a smaller than normal-sized person
When you're tasting yogurt, it's tasting you too.
do what i do and smash a bunch of fruit loops in that business!
