And, I wanted to add, the food makers make a lot more money off of skimming the fat off foods, since with dairy, they can skim the fat, sell the low fat milk for as much as whole fat milk, and then sell whatever they make out of the skimmed fat as well! Butter/cream cheese/sour cream/etc.

I've noticed that most of the grocery stores in my area do not even carry low fat yogurt any more: all yogurt is 0% fat. Not one carton of low fat or heaven forbid, whole fat milk-based yogurt. You have to go to a health food store for that. And many restaurants do not have butter anywhere in the building: only "spreads", whatever the heck those are.
