So in the beginning, we were all very surprised with the question and kind of confused. Like Mr. Freeman was, oh my God, I have this really interesting question. We were like, this is your question?

Yeah, especially with this class, it's like when teachers are asking you to do something, to research something you're not interested in, it's hard. But with this question, we all have kind of come up with topics that we are interested in, all of us. But then we're asked to do this about yogurt. We're just like, why can't we spend more time researching the things that we're actually interested in?

So I've mostly I've been researching like why is America overmedicated? And I really am interested in like the 19th century, the Civil War, kind of where that all started with morphine and how that's progressed to where we are now, which is this like cataclysmic crisis.

Yeah, there are some classes that I do like enjoy. I really like to learn. I think kind of the stress of it sometimes takes away from that. Well, sometimes a lot of the times takes away from like the kind of pleasure you get from learning or like the drive that you have. Because I think I'm a very driven person when it comes to that.

But then two weeks later, he said, I contacted this podcast team. Then I think that made it more exciting, at least for me, because it made it feel more real.

We believe that our all-natural yogurt deserves an all-natural packaging. Terracotta is a natural material that has been a useful tool in the kitchen for centuries. Pots, plates, platters, etc. And it still is today.

I mean, certain brands have a whole page on their website where they can actually detail to you what exactly they're doing to be sustainable. You know, if you look at La Fermiere, there's only like two sentences. Is this really giving me a full explanation as to why? Not really. It was like, oh, it's because we're eco-friendly. I just had the biggest eyebrow raise ever. Like, really? I don't know.

Big question mark. That's what it feels like. Big question mark.

If you've ever watched Nickelodeon in your lifetime, you know that there are a plethora of ads. And they're all so colorful and bright, and they have this really obnoxious music. I feel like I always embraced them as a kid. I don't ever have a memory of not. But I don't know. It's interesting. You kind of grow older and you start to be a little skeptical.

I think that also kind of just comes with being a teenager. I'm not going to lie. And then, you know, I think also in quarantine, like we were all on our phones. And so you actually learn a lot. Like, you know, people always like, oh, yeah, you just sit in bed and do nothing. But like you actually learn a lot on a deep dive on some sort of TikTok or Google. Yeah.

You kind of learn about fast fashion, what that does to the environment, and you start learning about the detriments of what companies do. I think it was specifically with fashion, I think it really... was a turning point for me. You learn about how horrible, you know, the working conditions are. They're barely paid.

How much they produce and how much people are buying just to wear the shirt once and never again.

Yeah, because if it was actually the best way to make yogurt more sustainable, why are there only two other brands here and there that do it?

No. I can't hear anything. I can't hear anybody. I can hear Anouk. That's better. Oh my God, I can hear myself. Hey peoples. I can hear myself talk. Can you guys hear yourself?

And so Romy asked her, Can you just tell me the story of the ceramic pots and kind of how they came about and what they mean to the company in general?
Search Engine
The Stupid Little Yogurt Question
So one thing we've learned actually from, you know, our research is that it's really hard to measure sustainability and how something actually impacts the environment because there are just so many factors involved. How did Lafayette decide that ceramics were the most sustainable option?

Can you just describe what you want consumers to think about when they think of the brand that found me out? What does your brand identity really look like?

It's yeah, I don't think the flavor is really good. I mean, I'm not a big yogurt person, so maybe that's just me. But for a yogurt enthusiast, it would probably be good.

Romy? It's some type of marketing thing where it's, oh, I'm not eating yogurt out of a plastic pot. I'm eating it out of a clay pot. You know, it's like some type of image.

Yeah, why do you think it's the only yogurt, basically the most popular yogurt that comes in a clay pot?

I don't come here that often, but a lot of people do, especially if you don't have time to go get a snack and you only have 15 minutes. And it's a lot of just French products. So if you want something French, come here.
