*This is a tricky one. Apparently, when something says 'natural-' or 'artificial flavor,' even if it cites that it is organic, its flavor is coming from chemistry, not nature, and this is usually not a good thing. I just don't like plain yogurt, so this is a concession I'm willing to make. At least I can read what it says, y'all.

And that's everything. All of my other foods (such as my box of raisins which only has one ingredient: raisins) are whole.

Eating like this ROCKS - for real.
