Personally, I live by the stuff, along with many other people that I know. I eat a container almost every morning for breakfast.
To top all, its delicious.
But I've heard mixed reviews---so how do you feel about it?

I eat a lot of it, along with Fage. What the heck is the problem with it?0

What's wrong with Chobani? I love both it and Fage. I eat it every day, too. Does it have to do with the fuss over corn starch or something trivial? If that's the case, meh! It's high protein and delicious. Just don't feed it to your Mogwai after midnight.0

I treat Chobani as a dessert. A yummy, high-protein dessert with calcium. My favorite is Almond Coco Loco (coconut, dark chocolate & toasted almonds):
230 calories
10g fat (90 calories from fat)
25g carbs
2g fiber
12g protein
calcium 15% DV
iron 4% DV0 -

Apparently, its not deemed "healthy" with its ingredients and that the company hasn't passed inspection. Also, the bloating lid thing made them look bad. Personally, I think its all bs from other companies...0 -

Oh. Googled it. Whole Foods. The precious, over-priced food phobia supporting zealot chain that it is is phasing out Chobani because of GMO issues? I shop at Publix . . .0 -
I haven't tried it, but if you enjoy it and it fits in your calories, why not

I used to be a faithful Chobani girl until I discovered the Dannon Light & Fit Greek. For me and my dietary needs it is a better choice as it is way lower in sugar content. Flavor and consistency are fine for both. Sometimes it is a matter of which is on sale. I also have a local farmer who makes goat milk yogurt which is also awesome and I know exactly what is in it. Would much rather support my local farmer!!0

I love Chobani!
From the things that I've read, the people speaking out against it, are doing so only for profit, and it almost seems like a political smear campaign. But it's not going to change how much I like to eat Chobani 0 -

Same here! That's my favorite, too! And just like you I realized I was inhaling the stuff just like icrecream. Didn't matter whether fruit on the bottom, choco flip or plain. So now just a once in a while treat like any other treat :P0 -
I like the stuff too. It's one of those to each their own things to me to be honest... family gags when I pull out my soy milk but I Really like that and prefer to drink it instead of skim..... which I use in cereal and coffee.0

Check out this link:http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/cmeirun/view/homemade-yogurt-crockpot-version-539483
I learned to make my own using this recipe i found on myfitnesspal ...it is very easy and so much less expensive than store bought. You can strain it to make it thick like greek yogurt. I think it tastes better because itis just milk and yogurt ( for cultures)0 -
Chobani is in trouble for using dairy products from cattle fed GMO grains. The damage caused by GMOs is believed to affect not only those who eat them, but those who eat the flesh or milk of those who eat them.
Whole Foods is dumping Chobani because of the GMO-grain fed cattle who provide the dairy products.0 -
I love it! BUT when I want something less sweet, I go with Siggi's brand. The portion is slightly smaller but, compared ounce for ounce, it's less sugar and carbs and more protein...so I can get 14 grams of protein for 110 calories and 13 carbs, instead of 150 calories and 20 carbs. Those numbers aren't so significant if you have a large calorie budget, but, I don't! And I do love yogurt, so they add up. It's a bit more expensive too, but for me worth it. It's really thick and delicious, though maybe a bit of an acquired taste because it's really a lot less sweet. I mix in a tbsp or 2 of sunflower seeds....heaven!0

it was said that it had mold init and its a gmo0

They had an incident with mold in one batch earlier this year, they did a recall. It was not harmful. I have never had anything but good experiences.
And everything is a gmo.0 -
I have mixed feelings about GMO, so I can't come down pro or con on the issue. Here's an interesting recent article from The Economist about how maybe the opposition to GMO is a bit of a blind "first world problem" : http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21591176-greens-say-climate-change-deniers-are-unscientific-and-dangerous-so-are-greens-who-oppose-gm
Either way, Chobani makes a good tasty, affordable product, and I don't buy it at Whole Foods anyway! Though I will say that I like Fage better, but the fruity blended varieties are much harder to find (and more expensive).0 -

As a whole foods shopper, I am glad that someone is taking notice. To each his own. I much prefer Fage plain yoghurt.0 -

been eating chobani for about a year now and no issues..
don't believe everything you google…maybe you got scroogled?0 -
It gained a lot of hate after the way they downplayed the bloating lid thing (I stopped eating it for a while but then started again after giving them time to get their stuff together). Also, people don't like the GMOs. For me, I don't mind and I love the flips.0

It's definitely a first world problem and the green groups attacking GMOs with unscientific nonsense will cause the continued starvation of millions if they win. It's similar to what they did with DDT and malaria. Political agendas and science rarely mix well.0 -
I like the Chobani Flips the one with chia is great also.0
-
I get the fat free plain kind and add my own stuff to it or just eat it plain. I like it.0

Chobani has to be the WORST Greek yogurt I've ever tasted.
I'm glad Whole Foods is pulling it from their shelves-- it means people will be able to discover more real tasting yogurt like Liberté or maybe PC can sell to them

I LOVE Chobani! It tastes great, a good source of protein and affordable.0

I love Chobani so much!!! I like to mix the plain kind with cocoa powder and a crumbled up protein bar:) I like their fruit flavored ones (I love all the ones I've tried- apple cinnamon, peach, blueberry, strawberry) by themselves, and the Chobani Champions are a perfect little sweet and not-that-sinful treat!!:)0

Ewww, I don't like it.
I only like Noosa and Fage. Noosa is an Aussie style yogurt and of course Fage is greek style yogurt.0 -
I actually really like Chobani, although it has gotten a little watery here lately, I just pour out the extra liquid and mix it really good. I live the Blood orange and the KeyLime Flips. But most of the flips are really good,
My husband likes Oikos better, and they are pretty creamy, but because of the limited flavors with Oikos I still go back to Chobani!!0 -
Not really fond of yogurt myself, would rather have cottage cheese,but I had my 1st Choboni today, the Almond coco loco, it was quite tasty,and I enjoyed it. I think it could have less sugar, but I am willing to try another one, I will try the key lime pie one tomorrow. Trying to keep my breakfasts around 350 calories, so I eat them with a banana0
