I do sometimes like to lie to myself about my indulgences.. Yogurt is healthy right? It's full of probiotics and dairy, and a healthy dose of sugar... Fruit is healthy too, right??? it's on the outdated pyramid that was once a wheel and has recently become a plate which looks a lot like a simon says.. It even stayed on the wheel through all these decades of change.. It must be good for you...
While I understand the concept of trends, I don't really understand how these yogurt places are magically popping up overnight like someone let loose a few bunnies and all of a sudden there are millions of bunnies (not to be confused with Hugh Hefner's bunnies). There's really just a mad amount of yogurt shops appearing and they all have different names like: yogurtland, red mango, di'lishi, fraiche, tuttiecup, pink berry.. the list goes on with each name getting sillier than the previous (aparently yogurt and silliness go hand in hand).. While I like bunnies and I love yogurt.. I hope that in a year or two after the trend has died off we don't have a bunch of desolate post apocalyptic-esque forgotten yogurt shops. Anyway.. back to the story. I love yogurt.. I love pretending it's healthy for me by using a dense layer of fruit to cover my coconut, cookie bits, mochi balls (gummy rice flour balls, total empty calories fun texture, great rice starchy taste), chocolate layer... If you haven't ventured into one of the many billions of yogurt shops across the country do so now before the yogurt Apocalypse comes and they start disappearing like bunnies do when a hawk discovers that there's a fast breeding food supply. (if you're wondering.. yes I had some pet bunnies that escaped when I was younger and yes a hawk took residency in my neighborhood and preceded to decimate the sudden bunny boom).

Yogurt apocalypse! You should go out with a sign on the street corner.... Makes me question why I'm paying $2 for a tiny tin of Fage. I love your quirky writings....
