Phony Creamy Dannon Yogurt

What dairy consumer reads the tiny print on a
container of Dannon Yogurt? One would assume it's
natural, right? Wrong! Why is Dannon Yogurt so
unnaturally thick and creamy?

Pay careful attention to the list of ingredients.
There is a message. Dannon Yogurt contains these
taste-tempting additivess: pectin, food starch,
modified food starch.

If you've ever made your own marmalade or jam from
fresh or dried fruit, you know that pectin is the
ingredient necessary for thickening. If you have a
reaction to MSG, you recognize "modified food starch"
as another name for this excitotoxin. Food starch?
Ever use corn starch or potato starch to thicken
sauces or gravies?

The bottom line is that Dannon yogurt does not
thicken naturally when made from just milk.
Manufacturers often use artificial emulsifiers
to thicken their products and then lie to consumers
by representing that they are natural. In a sense,
everything is natural with the exception of the
supernatural. Dragon blood is supernatural.
Unicorn horns are supernatural. Gillyweed is also
supernatural (you must be Harry Potter fan to know
about gillyweed). Starch, MSG, and pectin may be
called natural, but to do so is offensive and
insulting.

Solution:

Make your own vegan yogurt. It's easy. here's how:

If you own a SoyToy, instead of adding soybeans to the
filter barrel, add 1/2 cup of millet. Add water to the
cooking pot. Turn on the machine. In 25 minutes you will
have a thick creamy neutral-tasting pure white milk.
Refrigerate the millet milk and it will set into a
thick creamy vegan yogurt.

Add strawberries or blueberries or bananas or mango or
whatever fruit you desire into your blender and puree.
Stir the fruit mixture into your yogurt and enjoy!
If you have a sweet tooth, add a touch of maple syrup.

I am intentionally not giving you the phone number to
purchase a SoyToy. If you want one badly enough, you'll
figure out a way to contact me. Call this the worst
commercial offering in the history of advertising. But
one portion of millet yogurt will cost you less than a
penny to make and the SoyToy will pay for itself in a
few months, so go for it if you are so motivated to
figure out how to do so. Yes, I am in a playful mood.

Figure out how to order a SoyToy today and I'll send you
a complimentary package containing enough millet to produce
a case of homemade vegan yogurt (strawberries not included).
If and when you figure out the SoyToy toll-free number, I
can guarantee that a playfully moo-ded opertor will be
standing by to take your order.

Baloney! You've confused "modified food starch"
with "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" or something
like that. Hydrolyzed protein is protein that has
been broken down into amino acids, and one of those
amino acids is glutamic acid, which becomes glutamate
when alkaline. Hydrolyzed protein is used as an
MSG substitute, either for cost reasons or to avoid
indicating MSG on the label.

Starch can be hydrolyzed, but that converts it into
sugars, not amino acids.

Modified starch is not completely hydrolyzed to
sugars. It is modified to control its chain length,
to adjust its thickening properties.

I thought that vegan meant
No animal products which means:
No meat
No eggs
No dairy
No fish
(No snakes, salamanders, frogs, etc. either)

We had a "local foods" brunch as a fund raiser and tried to use organic as well as local. Helped out by local producers of organic raw milk, organic pork (what's brunch w/o bacon and sausage?), cheese, yogurt, and eggs. We had foods labeled if they were known to be vegetarian and others (far fewer) labeled vegan. One of the members of the organization wanted us to show her "one of the vegans" because she wanted to know what "they" looked like.

As far as I can tell, vegans are allowed to eat
Potato chips (as long as they're fried in vegetable oil)
Guacamole
Tofu


--
It takes 15 million barrels of oil per year to make
all of the plastic water bottles in America. 8 out
of 10 water bottles end up in the landfill.

sorry anything processed is under scruteny.


labels don't tell the entirety of it all either.



and is that vegetable oil not containing elements that help keep it's shelf
life and useage longevity? then it's probably got animal product.

everything is animal animal it's all old school the cheap industry way.

that's how it is.

i'm not sure if things will change... we just have to make our own ammends.

not all tofu is safe.... read those labels... one company will outshine
the other but be careful.

nope, sorry i can't trust half this shit.


labels don't always speak the truth either.. it's the old school of
production.. my family worked in it for years and they would all laugh
when folks read the labels.. it's like "sorry, i ain't eating that shit i
help push to the public..."


they sometimes would eat their own product and grouce.. wondering how people
can stand to put that shit down their throats.

your science says one thing.. production basics say another.

i ain't touching anymore... gerd was my best friend once.. now it can
**** another.

and that's what you're told... i'm sticking with the fresh produce
though that has elements in it also.... fertilizers, addtives in the soils
to make it better, last longer and take transport.. but it doesn't bother my
digestive tract as much.

everything processed is questionable.

i can't see how there can be official vegans... i just call myself that
because it's easier to describe the diet in short without confusing the hell
out of everyone.

I agree with Mark on this one.
Though I'd prefer a whole fat milk yogurt instead.
