I'm slim and not worried about calories, and have an old-fashioned belief that food is better for you if it's in a more natural state. I only buy whole milk and whole yogurt. I have no issue with people doing otherwise if they think it's better for them, but what I have a hard time believing is that anyone thinks 0% yogurt tastes "just the same" as full-fat yogurt. I have occasionally sampled various brands of 0% when someone else bought them, and they all taste either thin or chalky. Or, if it's sweetened, it tastes chemical. I suppose you get used to it.
Some people think margarine and corn syrup on pancakes is just as good or even better than butter and pure maple syrup. If people like that sort of thing, more power to them, I guess.
I use plain greek fat free yogurt because it has fewer calories and tastes perfectly fine to me. I use it like sour cream - in chili, on rice, on baked potatoes, etc. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't use it. But I do like it.
People don't look for low fat cheeses so why do people buy low fat yogurt?
I only buy whole fat yogurt and the choices are less and more expensive. So I'm paying more for traditional yogurt. Low fat yogurt not only is bad for you it doesn't taste good at all. They have to add stuff to it to make it creamy.
When you compare Greek low fat to Green whole fat yogurt, the taste especially the texture is not comparable.
Low fat yogurt always dry up and become crusted or if it's a cheap brand it is watery and have separation.
Whole fat yogurt is always creamy, soft, and the taste is much smoother and dense. Low Fat yogurt always taste less creamy, even ones they use gelatin to enhance the texture you can tell it's too artificial.
There's nothing healthy about low-fat yogurt anyways, the substitutes they added in is what makes it less healthy. If it's plain low-fat yogurt without much substitute it is almost not a yogurt. The separation and watery mess is not good.
Of course they do. The only yogurt I buy is non-fat. And it is delicious.
I make my own yogurt with starter, half-and-half, and coconut flour fermented for 36 hours.
What is fat-free sour cream? Cultured skim milk, thickeners, flavorings and vitamin C. The ingredients say "cream," but I don't know how you can have fat-free milk fat.
It's kind of like fat-free mayonnaise: vinegar, a bunch of thickeners, and some flavorings and preservatives. I make my own with oil, eggs, mustard and lemon juice.
Fun fact: you can call the above sour cream and mayonnaise, even though they don't contain the main ingredients of either one. But you can't call what I make yogurt because it doesn't have the right bacteria.

Wrong. I just looked at the ingredients in the nonfat plain Greek yogurt in my fridge. It's a single ingredient-non-fat milk

I eat non-fat yogurt on pretty much a daily basis. It's never become dried or crusty. I've experience more separation with sour cream

Low-fat and skim milk always taste less creamy also.

To each their own. You don't like it, don't buy it. I prefer to watch my fat and calorie intake. And again, there are no additional ingredients in the non-fat yogurt I buy.
They dont fatten hogs for market on dietary fat, they fatten them with high carb diet and limited exercise.
Bingo.
The anti-fat foolishness must end.
Fat free cheese is worse than the wax wrapping around real cheese!
