Yoghurt in the US has been completely destroyed by the "non-fat" movement. It's the fat that makes it yoghurt. Low-fat or non-fat yoghurt is a contradiction in terms!
The "yoghurt" you can buy in supermarkets here is sugared milk with artificial thickeners, it's madness.
- maxerickson 11y agoMost of the national brands make whole fat yogurts with no added sugar or thickeners.

No, it hasn't, because you can still get other-than-nonfat yogurt, both full fat (sometimes labeled as 4% fat, which is certainly a response to the anti-fat movement) and low-fat (2%); I have yet to see even a poor-quality supermarket that doesn't have full-fat yogurts (though the most common offering and the one with the greatest variety of choices seems to be low-fat, but still not non-fat.)
- fallinghawks 11y agoI recently had the horrifying experience ;) of seeing non-fat half-and-half. Seriously, what's the point? As for yogurt I pretty much do not buy supermarket brands anymore. There's a European imported food store in town that sells some fresh items, among them Greek yogurt. The stuff is like paste, and it's fantastic.
