   I never thought of yogurt-eating as being connected to my gender. I eat it because I enjoy it and my body doesn’t have an adverse reaction to it – my husband eats it more often than I do, for the same reasons. I realize that yogurt is marketed to women on TV, and, connectedly, some yogurts are associated with BigWeightLo$$Industry, but I’m not sure I want to further those connections!

   Maybe women eat more yogurt because their doctors are on their cases to get more calcium? I eat the plain, full-fat stuff after I exercise because I have to eat something to keep my blood sugar from plummeting. And any flavored yogurt is just too sweet.

   I laughed so hard at this video. I always hated it those “it’s **** good” ones. Ugh, way to pigeon hole and stereo type.

   I’ve heard a similar rumor about cottage cheese. Apparently, you have to have XX chromosomes to fathom eating cottage cheese.

   Oh. My. God. That was the funniest thing I have seen a long time!! I especially loved her dancing around with the commercials. Now I have to go send this to every woman I know! Ha!

   I loved her dancing around with the commercials, too. “I’m gonna sh** my pants!” Priceless!

   I sent this to my skinny (male!!! I kid you not!!!) DF and he thought it was fantastic.

   For the record, I have an MA, and zip up hoodies make me cringe. Something about the noise the zipper makes, and the gross feel of a cheap metal zipper. Ugh.

   I’m not a big fan of hoodies, either

   I eat yogurt occasionally, but I’ve never seemed to have the orgasmic reaction the women on the yogurt TV commercials have. Has yogurt – along with cottage cheese and salad – been officially lost to the bastions of “diet” food?

    I never connected yogurt eating to gender because we all eat yogurt here.
    But it definately shows in the commercials doesn’t it!

    I ‘m still chuckling.

    I’ve eaten yogurt for years (and I wear hoodies in the winter, but I don’t own any gray ones), largely because I don’t like drinking milk.

    But just like anything, there’s yogurt, and there’s diet yogurt (ditto for cottage cheese). The new Dannon Light N Fit! isn’t real food. Can’t be. It’s glop in a plastic carton. And those little 4 oz containers? That’s an appetizer for my *cat*. Who also likes yogurt but doesn’t wear hoodies.

    I ABHOR those stupid “it’s ______ good” commercials. So much so that I change the channel as quickly as possible when one comes on. Are you listening, Yoplait? I hate your commercials! Your ad campaign? Ce n’est PAS si bon !

    It kind of bugs me how they lumped Fiber One in with the digestive health yogurts when it isn’t one, Fiber One just makes a lot of high fiber foods.

    I haven’t seen any of the “It’s ___ good” commercials in ages, are they still airing them?

    my first thought is that women and yogurt are put together because of the beneficial bacteria helping to stave off yeast infections.

    *cracking up over here* Oh, that was good. *wipes tear of laughter away* Btw, I love hoodies. I own several. I even own a gray one. I washed one of my boyfriend’s hoodies in super hot water and then threw it in the dryer so it would shrink too small for him and I could steal it for myself. But I don’t eat a lot of yogurt. When I do, it’s full of fat and fruit and granola and lots of other good stuff.

    This cracks me up every time. I’m a PhD student with no master’s degree. I don’t own a grey hoodie. I’m married, but that was before the PhD program and my husband eats yogurt (and cottage cheese) too. We’re freaks, apparently.

    Carrie, my cat also likes yogurt. I stopped buying the no-fat/no-sugar/no-real ingredient stuff when I realized that he would eat real yogurt (full fat, real sugar) but not the mass-market diet crap. If he wouldn’t eat it (and he eats bugs voluntarily), then I probably shouldn’t be eating it either. Smarter than me about the food, he was.

    Hehhee. I DO love yogurt though. I tend not to go for all the frilly sweet ones. Plain old greek or plain yogurt for me.

    Way belatedly because I just found this blog today … if they must make these commercials, where’s the “it’s ‘I just pwned the last boss’ good” part? Or is that not girly enough?

    (I actually can’t stand yogurt, but …)
