I just went to Japan the other week and sampled some of the snacks at the convenience stores. In general, they weren't nearly as sweet as what you find in the USA. Did Japan go through the same low-fat craze that America went through from the 70's forward? A lot of the tasty fat here was replaced with sugar. That led to people being less sated and portion sizes going up.
