Crumbs, that manages to be racist, patronising and misleading all rolled into one! And incredibly badly dubbed – the voice doesn’t sound like her at all.
I despise Danone, not least because they fail to provide me with brebis options, but also because their ‘Greek-style’ yoghurt is nothing like real Greek yoghurt, and they have the gall to pretend their industrially produced slop is good for the intestine. Do any of their products actually contain live cultures? (If so I’ll take that back.)
I don’t think they did about 10 years ago, when I was researching these things for health reasons – I had to buy proper yoghurt from health stores to get stuff with cultures in it. Maybe they’ve upped their game since then, but I’d be surprised if any living organism could survive that sort of marathon industrial/storage/delivery process that gets Danone products on supermarket shelves. Activia doesn’t even contain Lactobacillus Acidophilus.
Here’s one of her ads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmXwcO_wLcY

Apparently they do.
But I’m willing to bet that the woman in the ad isn’t Greek.
