I thought I was the only one astonished by the marketing of yogurt as a weight-loss product. With all that fat and sugar didn’t someone finally wonder, hmm, isn’t this a bit like ice cream?
Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent: Yogurt And Lies - Living on The Huffington Post:

If you are a yogurt addict wanting to drop those last five pounds, here are some things to think about next time you’re in the dairy section.
