What's the deal with Greek yogurt?

 I go through phases of eating alot of yogurt.  Normally spring, summer, and fall are my usual yogurt seasons.  Winter is more of a chicken pot pie season.  Now, I am talking about lunch time meals and not breakfast or dinner (who would eat yogurt for dinner?).  Recently I was eating my normal fat free Yoplait yogurt and when I went to the store I saw this greek yogurt and asked my wife about it.  A co-worker was telling me how her husband (a very fast runner) and her only eat greek yogurt because it is so amazing.  I asked my wife if she wanted me to pick some up instead of our normal yogurt and she did.

My wife had been eating this "Greek" yogurt for a couple of weeks and one day I decided to eat one and give it a try.  The reason it took me so long to try her Greek yogurt is that they cost 80 cents each instead of the normal 45 cents for fat free yogurt I pay.  Now I am a convert and enjoy this expensive treat but my mind kept thinking "why is this called Greek?"  My first thoughts were like a penny from each one sold goes to the Greek bailout or something. 

A little Bing search and I came across a website that describes how Greek yogurt has three times the protein and much less carbohydrates than normal yogurt.  That is good news for us type 1 diabetics.  The reason is this cheese cloth stuff that they do with it.  Here is the website for all my research (yes this is a website called "buzzle")

I think the switch to greek for me was the more mature flavor it has (yes I mean bland), and the texture (I like thick yogurt).  Who knows how long I will be on this greek kick but yogurt is great for any body that travels.  There are enzymes in yogurt that keep you regular and when camping I like to make sure my movements are timely and regular.  You never want watery farting diarrhea while camping.
