But I would like to see how many grams of the sugar comes from the fruit and how much is the processed sugar. I am thinking about writing to my congressman.>
>Bearing in mind that a tsp of sugar is 4g, that's almost 5 tsp of sugar in your healthy snack. There is a rumor that some of it comes from milk, meaning that even yoghurt with no added sugar or fruit still may have several tsp of sugar. But before revealing this to your Congressman so that he can demand action from Obama, you should speak with Kevin Goff: in a previous post he told us that he manufactures and keeps large stocks of dehydrated water, so he may know how to extract the milk and other unhealthy parts of yoghurt to make it just as healthy.
Aside from water I am yet to see any product that has no sugar. But we need sugar - in certain moderation - so I am not against sugar. I would just prefer that when they make a fruit yogurt they don't add sugar on top of what is already in the fruit.
But I will follow your suggestion and will ask KG to petition Obama - on my behalf - to have a "more fair redistribution" of sugar resources.
