I only ask because I went to buy some full fat yogurt in Teco today and there was nothing labelled as full fat the yogurt I ended up getting had approx. 9.5 grams of fat per 100 grams is that full fat or is it lowered fat?
 
Thanks mahola I will continue to follow your valuable advice in this matter.

It's just that by loading the shelves with low fat or zero fat products it seems to me they are taking our choices away.
 
I'll have to take a trip to Aldi's then, but was looking for a large tub of greek style for adding to what I cook as well but will get some from Aldi as wife likes to take yogurt to work as a snack.

She watched that video with me, Sugar Crash then went down stairs and threw all the low fat yogurts out.
 
@JohnEGreen - I googled it for you:

"How much fat in full fat yogurt?"
"According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, an 8-ounce serving of plain full-fat yogurt provides about 140 calories, 8 grams of protein, 7.4 grams of fat, 11 grams of carbohydrates and sugar, and 275 milligrams of calcium."

So about 0.9 grams of fat per ounce of yogurt in the USA is full fat yogurt.

The brand I buy, Brown Cow has 9 grams of fat per 8 ounce serving.
 
Ali also do a large flat pot of plain real Greek yogurt a bit more expensive than their standard Greek style tall pot but really nice and yes the little glass pots are lovely

Not sure if this is helpful for you, but for the past few months, I've been making my own kefir yogurt. It's SOOOOO easy! I just got some milk kefir grains from a friend, and all you do is pour milk over the grains and let it sit on your counter overnight, then strain out the kefir grains and eat your yogurt. Then use the kefir grains to make more yogurt, indefinitely. WAY easier than making thermophilic yogurt. You can use whatever milk you want, and flavour however you want - no guessing games at the supermarket. Sometimes I use 10% cream and sometimes I use whipping cream. You can strain the finished kefir through a tea towel if you want thick cream cheese. Cheaper than buying yogurt, and less packaging to throw/recycle, too.

preferably at supermarket, but I can order olnline or travel a bit to get it

Well its not quite yoghurt but have you thought about creme fraiche instead..

41g of fat with 2.3g of carbs per 100g if its too thick maybe mix with some double cream?

I have been known to sneak a few spoonfuls when there's some in the fridge...
