A US food question...

That is really annoying, as I won't drink aspartame, I'd rather have sugar.  I suggest buying Rock's Organic squash and mixing with sparkling water.  There are some natural fizzy drinks around, but you have to search.

Sorry for hijack.

I'm sorry to and thanks.  It really gets me mad, I can just taste it and it just tastes off to me.

Even my Wal-Mart in a small western PA town had Horizon milk and Stoneyfield Farm full fat yogurt and I lived in Hicksville. 

FYI Horizon has been accused of violating organic standards - the two farms that supply Horizon have been said to confine cows and deny them access to pasture....

Just a suggestion for those who don't want any sugar or artificial sweeteners in their yogurt.  Try stirring some 100% fruit jam / preserves into plain yogurt.  (I've always found those fruit spreads just as yummy as anything made with sugar.)

Also re: Stonyfield Farms yogurt:  Back when I first started at my old health food store job they were not sweetened with sugar (I *think* it may have been rice syrup), but obviously they do use sugar now.

Yes, plain Greek yogurt and pureed fruit is our fall back plan.

There is a very good natural foods store I worked at years ago in my old home town that we will go to if I can't find anything else handy.

Thanks for all the input everyone!

Can't something be organic without being free range?

I don't think so. Organic standards encompass quality of life as well as what they are fed and treated with. Here is a link to the Soil Associations standards for Dairy Cows:

IT may help sending her a picture of it. Also I know in Denver stores the Yo-baby was in a different spot then the other yogurts.

Just to double check and recheck.... I checked at Wall-ey-world today for you and Yo Baby is HFC free.  Just sugar for bouncy babies and bouncy toddlers!

Honestly, that may be a more cost-effective way to do it.  Especially if the kids eat a lot of yogurt.  I buy Greek yogurt in biggish tubs, and it works out cheaper per serving than the Stonyfield stuff.

Plus you have the advantage of flavoring your yogurt on a whim!

I have neve seen any flavoured yoghurt in the UK that does not have sugar added. I only eat plain yogurt for that reason.

The only flavoured yogurts I've found in the UK that don't have sugar are Rachel's Organic's My first yogurts.  They use fruit juice and purée, but they're about £1.50+ for 4x90g pots.     But, they are sooo tasty!  Sometimes I have to fend DH off the mango ones to feed DD.

They don't eat loads of it... but Mom is apparently really into Greek yogurt these days so you're right, that's likely the way to go. I have to say though, I LOVE the Rachel's peach yogurt here. And I'm not a huge yogurt fan at all. I prefer it savory - i.e. with curry/raita.

Rachel's Coconut Greek Yoghurt is my downfall. That and Rachel's Rhubarb. I loooooove Rachel! 

A little late, but i just wanted to say that Brown Cow has a store locater:

Their yogurt is good, though i prefer UK yogurt because of the wide variety of flavors (rhubarb!)

I second this.  The Brown Cow is yummy.  Plus it has a cream top (good extra calories if you want Sammy to have them).
