Second off, look at what it says above—if they even bother adding fruit, it’s basically mush. It's rotting stuff. If you know anyone working in the food industry in any capacity, just ask them. The people actually working there never eat those yogurts. They know why.
It's simply not profitable for them to use real fruit; it's much cheaper to just toss some flavoring in.
Like I said, I eat them occasionally myself. But I don't fool myself thinking they have any actual nutritional value.
They have those fruit yogurts packed in those fancy little glass jars, right? The ones with the label that looks like some European floral pattern or whatever... Thick, fatty, and incredibly sweet? Is that what you're talking about?
I'm not sure why you're bringing that up, though; I didn't even comment on it because I don't buy them. But this part of yours caught my eye:
"It's better if you don't know what that thing is that looks like fruit or has a 'fruit flavor.' And those rare cases where they actually include fruit—it's already past its prime, it just doesn't show in the yogurt."
Have you ever actually eaten a BioGard fruit yogurt? You touched on this yourself in another thread—talking about food and calling yourself a fan of it. Well, not every manufacturer is allowed to use that specific label. But the ones making my favorite yogurt definitely do.
As for mushy fruit—I know that almost all fruit popsicles are made from stuff like that, as are most candies and pastries with fruit fillings. But I don't see that as some huge tragedy. There are plenty of people who love it and can't get enough of soft apples, pears, or bananas. I know people for whom the fact that the fruit is overripe doesn't cause any disgust.
Besides, it's not my job to defend every single yogurt on the market, and I've already said I don't like all of them. But you don't get to tell me that I don't know what's in the yogurt I choose to buy. Look, maybe I don't know Müller, but I know plenty about different types of fruit and the products that contain them, and for me, that's more than enough.
