Amazing that a two-week factoid-finding mission to Bulgaria failed to use that amazing tidbit. Thank you! Lactobacillus bulgaricus.

Specifically, it means that the main advertising points on the packaging are "low fat" or "no fat," which entirely defeat the purpose. The lo-no-fat yogurts in Europe taste pretty gruesome, too. Attempting to change the US market is probably a fool's errand; yogurt is firmly in the public mind as good for you, but not tasty at all.

Greek-style yogurt can be found in certain specialty stores and is FAR better than the mass-produced glop.
