Also: the Chobani plant expansion planned for outside Oneonta would allow the company to produce 176,000 tons of yogurt per year there. Earlier: Upstate is yogurt country

Chobani yogurt comes from the God's: it's good for you, tastes great, fills you up, and is made in CNY. If you're into Greek yogurt but buying it from some national food brand, you're both missing out and hurting your neighbors. 2 cups of Chobani makes for an awesome breakfast.
