>tfw most supermarket yogurt is actually slightly fermented milk thickened with corn starch, whey, and carrageenan (gelling agent extracted from seaweed)
>tfw they sometimes even add lactic acid to give it that sour yogurt taste
>tfw Activia's supposedly beneficial bacteria is not grown in the milk, but rather separately grown on agar mixture, separated, then injected into the "yogurt"

Why isn't there a law regulating what yogurt is like there is with chocolate, butter, and cheese?

In my country, these things have to be labeled as "fermented dairy product". The label also has to have something like "this product is not yoghurt".
People still call them yoghurt anyway.

If you want a yogurt that is just yogurt all you need to do is look at the ingredient list, honestly. You spend your consumer dollars on what you like, let the idiots buy swill that they think will make them healthier because a celebrity or a model stood next to it.

I just want something that was thickened because of the bacteria, not because it was mixed with seaweed extract.

nope, you can't know what I liked as a kid, only what you liked as a kid.

I'm sorry your parents let you eat that shit and become obese, but it doesn't mean you have to be so mad at people who care about their health.

You've obviously never made your own yogurt and if so, sans a sachet

Its easy to make op. Look around for live culture yogurt, put a couple tsp in per litre of milk. Wrap in towel and leave in warm car or extremely low oven for 6-12 hours. Bam. Plain home made yogurt. Mix in your fruit preserve or whatever.
