Yogurt is good for you

Article in NYT about a company selling organic yogurt in France.

Our milk industry is probably the most competitive in the world,” said Christian Berger, the agriculture attaché at the French Embassy in Washington. He said that since the French don’t drink much milk, there is a huge market for milk-derived products like yogurt and cheese.
