I was pretty

when I discovered the greek yogurt I was eating (yoplait, dannon, etc) was in fact just regular yogurt thickened with corn starch.

It makes you less hungry and isn't bad for you.

There is fruit in it too sometimes. Good for you!!!
Oikos is disgusting, "greek" yogurt is for pretentious magniloquents.

Greek yogurt has a good amount of protein.

Yogurt is very good.

Greek yogurt is terrible. Fedor and Cire nailed it here.

probably because it is, it's the first half of chicken tikka masala

i guess you're just not a patriot then, steve dave, if you're such an accomplished chef in the cuilinary arts of other nations

I really like the Fage w/ the honey compartment:

The fage fruit flavors with compartments are basically just colored syrup, so they're pretty tasty, but I think I like the honey more.

I'll have to check trader joes.

steve dave · « **Reply #19 on:** November 08, 2012, 02:07:53 PM »

trader joe's vanilla has little flakes of vanilla bean in it. it's fantastic.

sys · « **Reply #20 on:** November 08, 2012, 02:09:53 PM »

trader joe's isn't good. fage is good. chobani is ok. the fresh & easy house brand is a good value greek yogurt when you can't find a better brand on sale. use one of the 25% off coupons and you can basically get it for 0.75 per.

normal american non greek yogurt is ridiculously sweet. kinda gross. i miss mexican drinking yogurts though.

pissclams · « **Reply #21 on:** November 08, 2012, 02:14:06 PM »

it would suck to have terrible genes like you guys where you constantly crave snacks, etc. and must focus on eating yogurt because
a) it bridges your hunger between meals (eating disorder?)
b) you have to eat it because it is "healthy" and your body struggles to deal with your attraction to your high fat/unheathy diet.

steve dave · « **Reply #22 on:** November 08, 2012, 02:15:00 PM »

I don't like chobani or oikos vanilla, both seem too sweet to me. fage plain yogurt is my go-to for cooking.
