I can take or leave yogurt-- but my son and wife eat at least one a
day. [Chobani is their yogurt-of-choice]

I usually sub plain yogurt for any recipe that calls for sour cream
these days. It lowers the calories and sodium and raises calcium
and fiber-- and *I* can rarely tell the difference in anything
cooked. [I actually like it in dips that call for sour cream]

It might be close-- but I think we could get through 100 cups of
Chobani before it expired. And the Chobani folks say it freezes
well-- so I might even get in on the action eventually.
