RE: It is frustrating to try to eat "right" in SE Asia

I have tried the reduced fat stuff in the past, but they add so much sugar and artificial sweetener to it that I honestly feel like the whole fat stuff is actually healthier for you!

This is absolutely true. your statement reminded me of a fad in the late 90's where there was a craze to have low-fat or no-fat alternatives to everything and everyone was reading labels ONLY for the fat content. I fell victim to this as well and we are all idiots I guess because in lieu of fat, they were throwing a ton of sweeteners in there that as it turns out is much worse for you than fat is!

Yes, this on so many levels! As always, it's important to eat everything in moderation and portion control is such a huge part of having a healthy diet. Remember the whole "Olestra" debacle?
