If you want your fat, Whole Foods in my area carries French Canadian yogurt that is a whopping 8% milkfat! That's more milkfat than milk has. I think cream is among the ingredients. It is soooooo good and, well, creamy. 260 calories, about half of it from fat. It has small amounts of flavoring and it is not really very sweet at all. Costs about $1 a "cup" but it is a nice splurge and not much more than regular yogurt. I agree that the texture of many yogurt products is very grainy and not very tasty. Breyers lowfat used to be really good but then they changed the formula and made it runny and grainy. Yoplait is not too bad and regular Danon fruit on the bottom is OK. But I cannot eat nonfat yogurt. I need at least 1%, preferably more.

Is being shilled as a "low calorie dessert". It's brilliant marketing - taking some slaughterhouse by-products, adding food coloring and artificial sweeteners, and turning a profit.

Full-fat yogurt plain or with fruity chunks, or if you're feeling frisky, a ridiculously delicious truffle flavor that makes a good dessert. Stony Field is good, as well. I hate the low-fat stuff, too, and it's better to eat the real stuff with other real, fresh foods than eat the processed, sugar-laden stuff.

I find the full-fat yogurt easy to get, though, with resorting to Fage. Maybe just need to try a local coop or health food store?

I have loathed those commercials with the two "This is X good!" twits since they came out. I am glad to see I am not alone.

I also can not find non-lowfat yogurt. I like plain vanilla or lemon yogurt, and it simply does not exist in my market.

Speaking of foods that are exclusively marketed to women: My favorite cereal is Special K, and I have gotten odd looks from cashiers and other shoppers when buying it. Like somehow yogurt and Special K are INTRINSICALLY feminine. Ridiculous.

I also shave with women's razors... They are much easier on my skin than the mens razors. I have no shame or guilt about this. There are only about 3 types of products in the world made solely for women. All the others are merely marketing tricks.

it's tolerable with fruit, although it's better plain, but chocolate and vanilla and things like that added are truly disgusting. Apparently though I am in the minority.

And so true! I'm so sick of the low-fat movement and the debunked pseudo-science it's based on, but usually it's pretty easy to ignore. Not when I want some yogurt, though. Row after row of low-fat, reduced-fat, and no-fat. All with a grainy texture, and filled with god knows what. I was reduced to buying the too-sweet Yo Baby to mix with my morning granola, until Trader Joe's started stocking this amazingly delicious yogurt that comes in blueberry, vanilla, banana, and strawberry. Yum, real yogurt.

I really didn't mind all this, to tell you the truth, because I didn't eat all that much yogurt (listed above is my ideal breakfast, not the real breakfast that I actually eat... or more like don't eat). Then I had a baby. Yogurt is, of course, very good food for an older baby: calcium, protein, good for the digestive track, and, of course, lots of fat. Fat which babies and young children NEED for brain development. And I started noticing all my friends and everyone at the supermarket only buying non-fat yogurt for their babies. Are they really so brainwashed? The other problem is that, being the crunchy sort, I try to buy organic. So it's always the 5 minute search for the single brand of full-fat, organic, regular yogurt... which only comes in giant tubs that I ended up throwing away half of until her appetite caught up.

No wonder kids today are so screwed up. They've never had any fat, from gestation on. My ultrasound tech actually went on a rant about this to me, when she said that my daughter had a "perfect brain" and was I eating lots of fat... I said "of course" and she absolutely LAUNCHED into pregnant women who reduce their fat intake.

Eat real food, people! It's not what's going to kill you in this world.

But only when it's that Swiss kind has reached full capacity of fruit and granola.

Yes, i'm an elitist.

Those Yoplait ads with those annoying chicks waxing on about how good their yogurt is always got my nerves, even though I think Yoplait is generally pretty tasty, especially the custard style. (I'd probably rather not know how it's made, however; it's probably chock-full of turpentine or something to give it that nice, custardy texture.)

That being said, yogurt isn't all that different than all the other stupid stuff that's being marketed directly to women. Let's not forget ladies' razors, stool softeners, Slim-Fast, Special K, ...

I’m a fan of Fage’s full fat Greek yogurt too – the texture is the best. They make a nice 2% too. Add a spoonful of nice jam or a little fresh fruit and its my favorite breakfast. I have lots of friends who wouldn’t dream of eating anything other then fat free – those girls are always starving and always obsessing AND they don’t seem any thinner for all their trouble.

Brown Cow is yummy too (the chocolate is like pudding) but they put so much artificial junk in it and the texture isn’t nearly as nice as Fage.

So much of the diet food out there is so skimpy on the fat and calories it’s just setting you up for failure. If my breakfast was only 90 calories I’d be making very bad lunch time decisions.

sucks.

For some of us, allergic to things labeled fat-free or low fat due to the aspartame/splenda thing, eating lowfat yogurt is even worse than gross. It's forbidden. I get really worked up if I'm at a deli/coffeeshop, etc. and want a yogurt but have only the Dannon Lite opition. Blech.

If you're lucky enough to live in the South and have a Publix grocery nearby, pick up Publix brand Creamy Blends. Super good and full of fat.

My boyfriend brought a big tub of Stonyfield yogurt into work last week and was ridiculed. Case in point, I guess.
