Brief History of Yogurt (sort of)

Concise but mostly (if not entirely) inaccurate history of frozen yogurt

Installment I - From humble beginnings

From 4.5 billion B.C. - 1950  (something) A.D. there was no frozen yogurt.  The only yogurt available flowed from utters of yaks somewhere on the frozen steppes of Russia (which kind of made it frozen).   It turned out to be so healthy that regular consumers of the mm, mm, mm delicious yak yogurt outlived their counterparts to achieve miraculous life spans of nearly 35 years.   And then in the 1950's a guy named Dan - something stumbled across these half-frozen natives of the steppes and using his dog-aging-equivalency calculator pronounced that yogurt could make you live to be 120 years old (he guessed that because their life was so tough that one of their years must have been equivalent to 7 of our years).   He, Dan...something, being an industrious sort returned home flush with an exaggerated sense of discovery and proceeded to usher in the modern age of yogurt.   

Installment II- America:  from exaggerated claims (pre FTC/FDA crackdown - blessing or curse?) to an American staple (coming soon)
