I don't eat any type of yogurt so don't know how it should be. She will
usually only eat vanilla flavored. No high fructose corn syrup and she
prefers the lower carb stuff.

She also won't eat sour cream that has separated even though I have told her
that it all seems to do that. Therefore we only buy the small containers of
sour cream because she will toss it once it is separated.
