FWIW, Greek Yogurt is not the same as Yogurt, it's a different product. Those two items are not "essentially the same thing". Also, low/zero-fat yogurts dominate the market in the US. Plain Whole-Milk traditional yogurt is more available now than it was a decade or two ago, but it's still nowhere as common as the high-sugar flavored ones.

It's the same thing with the additional step of straining out some whey

  the original is, but in the usa 'greek' yogurt is often thickened with additives instead.

  In Europe it's also Greek (as in, literally from Greece) milk, or else labelled 'Greek-style'.

I am continually astounded that zero fat/low fat yogurt is just seen as normal. Ditto for oatmeal with added sugar.

  I hate the obsession with low/no fat that has stuck around for decades here. Taking out the fat makes the food less tasty and less satiating. Not to mention that extra sugar tends to be added to try to compensate for the taste, thus making it at least as bad for you if not worse than if had more fat.
