Truth or Dairy

03.24.2009

The Bite:
Truth: Fro-yo's delicious. Dare: Cram some in your maw. Done and done, especially when we're talking Marin favorite Straus Family Creamery - which just debuted its creamy-sweet, soft-serve organic frozen yogurt. This nonfat yogurt is sweetened with agave (sweeter than sugar = less needed = fewer calories), contains live and active cultures (keeps digestion in check), and comes in standards like vanilla (you: living on the edge), rich chocolate, and seasonal specials like pumpkin and tangerine. Plus, you can indulge guilt-free knowing that SFC – which was the first certified organic farm west of the Mississippi - burns cow, um, waste to power 95% of its operation. Fro' reals.
Wanna Try: 
Straus Family Creamery Organic Frozen Yogurt, available at Yogurt Bar, 2760 Octavia St. Map It (415-441-2585). Small cup, $3; topping, $1.

Cocktail Fact

A dairy cow can generate up to 120 pounds of waste each day.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters buy a pint of organic frozen yogurt every month instead of the regular stuff, in a year we'll keep 81 cows off antibiotic and hormone treatments.
