Yogurt That’s Good in More Ways Than One
Most people are familiar with the health benefits of yogurt. The live and active cultures (probiotics) are of course essentials for our health and well being. It’s a good source of protein, calcium, vitamin B-2, B-12, potassium, and magnesium. And for people who have trouble with dairy products, yogurt is often much easier to digest than other milk based foods and drinks.
Despite all the benefits, I’m usually not a big fan of yogurt myself, but my father recently started working for Chobani yogurt, and brought some home for us to try. After sampling some, I’m beginning to decide that perhaps I do like yogurt. To start with, the Chobani is a Greek yogurt, so it’s thicker than most yogurts which I like better, but the part that really peeked my interest was the company itself.
Chobani makes their yogurt with milk from cows not treated with rbST, something that can often be hard to find given that so many milk producers pump their cows up with the drug. Not only is the drug harmful to the cows (cows who are treated with rbST generally die of exhaustion, living only half as long as cows not treated with rbST), but it’s also harmful to people who consume dairy product from cows treated with the drug. This is due to the fact that the milk holds the drug residue.
The other part I liked about this particular yogurt was, in addition to being rbST free, the company also gives 10% of it’s profits to charity. It’s a win-win situation, yogurt that’s good for the consumer and good for the world.
