[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Supply and demand. People want to buy the sweet stuff.[/quote] I did actually write an email to Fage complaining that they discontinued or changed two of their lower sugar styles. They directed me to their plain yogurt, but I don't like plain yogurt (I also don't like the yogurt with 10-20 grams of added sugar). I settled on certain Iceland yogurts (which I don't like as much) and a couple of Chobani styles that at least have only 5 grams of added sugar. I wouldn't really call any of these "sweet." I bet you could even get something similar in Europe where everyone is rail thin and has no health issues. If you have a craving for something sweet and creamy, you could do worse than a yogurt with 4 or 5 grams of added sugar. (Compare that to downing a pint of Ben & Jerrys with 100+ grams of sugar). No one needs to have absolutely perfect nutrition to be healthy. [/quote] I don’t think there is as big of a market for the highly sweetened yogurt in Europe as there is here. They don’t eat yogurt the same way. My DH isn’t from US. He eats plain yogurt on pita bread or toast with olive oil and some tomatoes. To much of the world, yogurt is savory. In the US it is preferred as sweet. Even the people in the US buying plain yogurt, are most often doctoring it with a bunch of fruit and granola. You can’t blame stores for selling what people want to buy. I bet there is a very small market for plain yogurt. [/quote]
