My kids and my wife love it.

Eight ounces of yogurt, plus 1/2 cup of berries is 155 calories, no sugars, tastes great. I don't care for the taste of plain yogurt, but the addition of the berries (canned pineapple chunks are also good) makes it more than palatable.

Like you, I took one bite and thought WTF is this? I always look at nutrition labels, but for some reason I didn't look at this one. It could be the words on the carton such as, "natural" "fruit" and "orchard". I'm really upset that I bought all this crappy yogurt. But I'm even more upset that practically everything has HFCS in it. We have a serious obesity epidemic in this country that keeps increasing and I believe it is because of crap like this.

They love it. They are 5 and 7, and they eat plain yogurt with some fruit and kix cereal mixed in. Even then, you have to be aware that milk sugar (lactose) is naturally in milk, and plain yogurt is a simple carb, so it doesn't last long, blood sugar wise. We have low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) so even plain yogurt is only a snack in addition to other protein. I gave my children plain yogurt from about 8 months of age. They love it.

And I don't like the taste of the aspartame infused sugarless yogurts. But low-sugar, fruity packaged yogurts are a great way to get a 3-year-old who drinks milk grudgingly to get enough calcium.

Considering how easy it is to make your own, with *no* sugar, why does anybody buy it? Commercial yogurts have had too much sugar for more than two decades now.
