Unfortunately, it's a very long haul to change dietary dogma, especially when it's been thoroughly ingrained for the last 50 years, and nearly everyone who remembers the day and age when everyone knew that starches and sugars were what really made you fat is a senior citizen (or already dead).
The shift from full fat to low fat/fat free didn't happen overnight, or even over couple of years. It started in the late 70's, but the push for more and more grains/starches, low fat, and minimal animal products didn't reach it's peak until the early 90's when the USDA came up with the official food pyramid promoting grains as the basis for a healthy diet.
That we are seeing some products labeled as LC is encouraging, but it's still going to be a long haul, especially since the USDA and medical establishment is still rather adamantly opposed to consumption of saturated fats and "eliminating entire food groups" (grains).
By the way, I'm actually seeing whole fat yogurts and cottage cheese these days (for the most part, there's always been lots of whole fat cheeses available) - unfortunately, if you read the ingredients on the yogurt and cottage cheese, it's usually fat free dairy with sufficient cream added back to it to raise it to full fat levels. Still better than the final product being low fat, and definitely better than fat free.
