    One gramme. That's not much. Only one. A pinch of salt, a dozen grains of s
ugar. That's really not much. Every time I eat a yogurt, I leave maybe a few gr
ams stuck to the container, except when it's shallow enough that I can lick the
remaining yogurt out. That's not much. But I eat two yogurts every day. 
    2 yogurts/day        eaten
    2 grammes/day        lost
    14 grammes/week      lost 
    60 grammes/month     lost
    100 grammes          lost    in 50 days   (that's an entire yogurt's worth)
    730 grammes/year     lost    (I've seen big tubs of yogurt that size)

    I don't know what to do or if it's even that big of a deal. It's more of a 
problem that most of the yogurt comes in plastic cups.

    (Some) cheese has holes. 
    - The more cheese you have, the more holes you have. 
    - The more holes you have, the less cheese you have. 
    - Thus the more cheese you have, the less cheese you have. 
    - The paradox raises from the vagueness of the statement(s). If we knew the
rate of growth of both the cheese and the holes, as we do the remains of yogurt 
from the cups, we would know that
    (1) the amount of holes depends on the amount of cheese;
    (2) the amount of cheese grows faster than the amount of holes. 

A similar paradox arises when considering robotic milk production and consumpti
on.
    - The more milk the robot produces, the more milk you drink. 
    - The more milk you drink, the less milk you have. 
    - Thus the more milk the robot produces, the less milk you have.

This gets even better when you're a female and you're the one drinking milk. 
    - The more milk the robot produces, the more milk you drink. 
    - The more milk you drink, the bigger your stomach gets. 
    - Thus the more milk the robot produces, the bigger your stomach gets. 
(This is not a paradox). 
This could become a paradox if the robot is drinking her own milk. I'll let you
figure that one out.          O
