The 5,000-plus cups of the Greek yogurt that were supposed to be sent to the Sochi Olympics but were denied by Russian customs will instead be donated to New York City food pantries but they are a tough sell, workers said on Thursday.

I used to work for Yoplait in Reed City Michigan. We got more free yogurt than we could bear to look at. I gave it to a farmer who gave it to his hogs and I got pork in return.

I believe that Seinfeld proved the homeless and hungry only like muffin TOPS, as well. They turn their noses up at the bottoms.
What a country! *BARF*

This past fall we bought 1/2 a hog that our cousins raised. They work at a local dairy and they gets LOTS of leftovers as well.
Man, that pork is gooooood! :)

how much money did this company get frpm the govt for startup?
And Russia practically invented yogurt.

So Schumer asked Russia to break the law and let the stuff through. Embarrassing...
I'm going to check to say what kind of money Schumer got for this company.

I worked at Dawn foods in Jackson Michigan where they made cake mixes and that sort of thing. One of my jobs in shipping was to sell spillage and floor sweepings to hog farmers. They sold it for a penny per lb back then.

There's a small cheesemaker near where I live. They figured out a way to get rid of the leftover whey (apparently that's quite a problem) - they started raising hogs.
Their "Whey-Fed Pork" is now quite popular locally. Foodies think that it's something special. Funny, that. "Whey-Fed" = "a way to dispose of the cheese waste" = a new revenue stream of really expensive pork.
I've tried it; it's tasty. It's got more of a nutty flavor, much more like wild game than anything else. Nothing like the pork you get in the grocery store.

I don’t blame them! Chobani yogurt is too sour, then they add a fruit preserve glop.
I make my own Greek yogurt and add fresh fruit, better tasting and no preservatives!
