Yogurt Named Trend of the Decade in US

When I was young, very few people ate yogurt in the US. It was considered to be something for vegetarians or tree-huggers.

Yogurt eventually came to take up lots of shelf space, but the varieties I have seen in the US have not been very appealing - they all seem to be no fat for adults or overly sweet and a strange color for kids. Yogurt in Japan and Europe tastes better, in my opinion. It is very good that yogurt's nutritional value is becoming well known.

The news as I see it is that Americans are finally starting to realize the benefit of probiotics, for which yogurt is a natural match.

The realizations of yogurt and probiotics lag way behind Europe and Asia though. Sort of like finally discovering the obvious.
