Chobani owner Hamdi Ulukaya was also named by President Obama as a “Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship,” which included a “closed-press” meeting with the president at the White House, according to the Daily Sabah.
EAGnews: WASHINGTON, D.C. – New York yogurt manufacturer Chobani just landed a massive U.S. Department of Agriculture contract for school lunches after years of lobbying lawmakers and President Obama on its products.
The upstate-New York Greek yogurt maker will be distributing its products to schools nationwide next year as a USDA-approved meat substitute for school lunches, capping off a pilot program in a dozen states made possible by extensive lobbying efforts.
Chobani Greek Yogurt first gained approval by the USDA for school lunches in 2013 as part of a pilot program after U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer and other New York lawmakers pressured USDA officials to include it in a pilot program for four states. The USDA’s typically years-long approval process for new products was miraculously slashed to only about 8 months for Chobani. more
Yogurt, huh? There ain’t no swinging meat left anywhere in government.
Chobani is as Greek a yogurt as Obola is a Christian preznit.
Yogurt is the crappiest food on earth.
This is crony capitalism at its finest. We’re being sold out piece by piece to whoever the highest bidder happens to be and we don’t care or couldn’t care less if it disrupts our fat, dumb, happy lives. Which is why I don’t believe a damned word our so called rulers have to say anymore about anything.
Hopefully it’s at least beef flavored yogurt.
You are right about that! It’s loaded with sugar, the very thing the Mooche thinks only she can partake of. Any dietician will tell you it’s not good for you.
Hey, yogurt’s great! I especially like a nice bowl of coffee frozen yogurt with a shot of Drambuie over it after a couple of bacon double cheeseburgers and lots of onion rings.
Yogurt is unfit for human consumption.
Whoever came up with this scam in the first place was a genius.
It’s bacteria-infested milk ‘product’ that festers until it’s the consistency of diarrhea.
@Al, the Drambuie is a thousand times better on its own!
Trust me…I know what I’m talking about.
I’m sure Moe Tom and/or Brad will back me up.
AL, Now you’re talking. Except I throw away the yogurt and drink the entire bottle of Drambuie. LOL.
Chobani put the “Greek” into yogurt ;>) ;>) When it comes to lesbians, their slogan is “If Chobani doesn’t kill the taste, nothing will!”
Hey, there, give a guy a little poetic license! I had to add something nice to that frozen yogurt.
I’ve enjoyed Drambuie many, many times over the years, sometimes neat, but I prefer it over cracked high-quality clear ice made from filtered water.
However, it does make a dandy ice cream topping, too, especially a good naturally-flavored, high fat content vanilla. Breyers will do if you can’t find better and are in a hurry.
Won’t be at our children’s school, being a private school they are out of the reach of leftist moon bats and assholes. I foresaw this long ao
EHHNNNHT!!! – Wrong answer.
Guess again…
(Hint: It rhymes with “killapia”.)
I love good yogurt but Chobani is lousy. No fat so the children will starve.
The best yogurts have the cream on top. Real food usually produced by small dairies.
I also love meat. The kids need meat.
Helps prevent yeast infections, too!
Freeze some vanilla yogurt; top with fresh strawberries and a splash of grenadine syrup. Children WILL eat this.
I’m okay with yogurt as a dessert, but NOT as the main protein source of the meal. A cup of yogurt is about 175 calories; students need way more food than that if you want them to pay attention in afternoon classes.
The sugar in yogurt contributes to yeast infections. Best to stay away from sugar and a high carb diet if one is susceptible to getting yeast infections. Don’t eat mushrooms either.

Enjoyed best straight out of a large snifter with a quality cigar. It creates a Hemingway kind of evening.
What’s a Hemingweigh?….
Oops. It’s like a Henweigh.
Chobani does those nasty lesbian commercials too. Gotta got the kiddies from all angles.
I hate that crap….it’s for women trying to lose weight.
They should make bacon yogurt with real bacon chunks.
OH! I saw one for the first time a few days ago. Lor! It was like a soft porn sort of thing. All coquettish glances = vomit in my mouth.

You know, if there was a (real) caramel swirl yogurt with crunchy bacon bits in a separate packet to be added just before eating … sounds like something I would make sure I tried.
“Allowing children to have healthy and delicious options for their lunch tray ingredients”
How the frig is it an “option” if the kids have no choice to either pick the yogurt or meat? What bloody option is that? Oh yeah, a libtard option. My way of the highway.
I enjoy my Drambuie with Grand Macnish and ice.
Kahlua on ice cream.
Works for me.
About 2 1/2 pounds.

Uncle Al, it’s pretty hard to beat Breyer’s Vanilla Fudge Twirl. I don’t even know if they make that particular flavor any more.
I know what’s a Steinway,
I know what’s a Hemingway,
But, what’s a Duckweigh?
About 5 pounds.
Thanks, Rodney.
