I can remember the days when yoghurt wasn't readily available, but when it was, it was quite thin and runny compared to much of the stuff available today. Years ago, there was a serious over-production of milk in the UK, and the milk marketing folk wondered what to do with the surplus. Then someone suggested yoghurt, and the whole yoghurt thing took off. Now, in my local Morrisons, there's a whole 40ft aisle dedicated to its sale. When I asked an assistant why so much space was taken up with the huge and unnecessary (to me) range of the stuff, he replied, 'Public demand.' How times change...
