Yogurt

I used to eat yogurt When trying to diet. Instead of a muffin, I thought I would try it. Some flavors were tasty But none’d really thrill me. Compared to my muffin, It never did fill me. Demand for it faded And I, too, surrendered; For, low-fat or no-fat, My body’d not slendered. But now, decades later, Seems yogurt is cool And anyone knocking it’s Branded a fool. It still wouldn’t fill me If served as a meal And as for a snack, It holds little appeal. So I’ll stand outside As the yogurtites eat And stick to my ice cream If I need a treat.

Yogurtites - one for the ages. Put it in a time capsule.

For me, nothing can stand up to salty food like chips, popcorn or nachos. haha. But I sure do enjoy the soft yogurts with tons of toppings when I am in the mood for them. You must be a bread girl? Bread is so yummy too. Love your food poems, Ilene.

Yogurt is ethereal if it's eaten with some cereal. Or a half a pound of fruit and pudding pie. So when you hear them talking bout the enzymes and nutrition. Remember weight is only dropped from good ole pure ambition. :)
