Fads

I am intrigued with the new greek yogurt fad that seems to be going on these days. Don’t get me wrong, I have been a fan of this very tasty substance for a very long time, so there is no greek hate here. I have been all about the thick creamy goodness mixed with a little wild honey since back in the day when I had to buy it in specialty stores. Still…really America???? A yogurt fad?!?!?! What next? Are we going to possibly have a lettuce fad? Oh, romaine is so cool and healthy for us, let’s modify it as only the American corporations will until it looks and tastes like romaine but is actual just cheap iceburg lettuce and then we can jack the price up and fool the populace into paying more for the same thing they have been eating because it’s commercialized and cool!!!! OR…for those people that actually know what they are buying, and know what makes greek yogurt different, and no it isn’t because it’s from Greece…you yogurt racists… buy the real thing, and enjoy. If you buy into the hype and want to try the next cool thing, even if you tried it before it was cool because you are just that darn smooth (ah-hem), then please for the love of the sweet tap dancing baby jeebus do some research. We could apply that statement to anything really. I ask, is it too much for people to know what they are putting into their bodies? I don’t care if it is healthy for you or not, but at least know. That way in 20 years when you are suffering from cholesterol problems (and it isn’t genetic) then you can think back and say…whelp it was probably the 50lbs of fried chicken I ate in 2012… instead of…. DAMN that greek yogurt!!! It must be all its fault since it was from another country!!!!!! Ummmmmmm….yeeeeeah…


All ranting aside though, it is pretty yummy with a bit of local wild honey. The local wild honey also helps improve allergy issues too, put a tablespoon of cinnamon in there and it will also improve vocal cord and throat conditions.
