I was explaining this to my daughter in quite simplified terms the other day- we evolved to taste sugar and enjoy it because finding a sweet edible plant meant we had a source of energy to help us hunt that day. Pretty useful if you're a hunter-gatherer.

So we seek out sugar. Now we can get it whenever we want it, in much more massive quantities than we are supposed to be processing. Most of us are addicted. I'm not an exception.

I've heard of one of those brands but have never tried it myself (Chobani) and who impregnated the tomato sauce? ๐Ÿคจ

Fair. Still not available in my particular part of Europe, though.

Here in Denmark we have so many domestic variants of yoghurt (big dairy producer per capita) that most grocery stores simply don't have room for/incentive to offer any imported ones, except for Greek yoghurt for the purists ๐Ÿ˜„

In fact, there's a great Scandinavia and the World comic about how much we love yoghurt ๐Ÿ˜

Makes sense. The only reason I know Yoplait is because I live in a neighboring country and speak French.
