They’re popping up everywhere these days: in the suburbs, in the city, you can even find food trucks touting their frozen soft-serve wares. No more ice cream parlors, these days it’s the yogurt shoppe. But don’t be fooled: as Americans are flocking through their doors, lured by healthful sounding flavors such as green tea and acai berry, they are self-serving themselves “small” cups which are actually tipping the scales.
Indeed, statistics show that the average consumer takes 8-10 ounces of yogurt, and then 4-6 ounces of toppings. When all is weighed at the cash register, there may be buyers’ remorse, but this being America, most folks will eat what they paid for.
but don’t fool yourself that when it’s served up like this,
it constitutes a healthy choice!
