I have a difficult time finding these, as well. The culture here (spoken as an American) is to avoid fats, which is why most products advertise "no fat" (yoghurt with no fat seems like a strange contradiction to me).
> in Asian restaurants (and even there, food is often sweetened)
This is also true from my experiences. Chinese restaurants add sugar due to believing that's part of the American palette. (For Chinese foods, there's also a distinction between "typical" and "authentic" styles, and most Americans are unaware of the latter.)
- gdebel 6y agoExactly! No-fat is a strange concept. Fat is not inherently bad, too much added fat is. But I'm pretty sure you can eat 500mg of natural good yogurt a day without being sick. Well, I never tried.
- dumb1224 6y agoIt depends on the places you went. Cuisine where I'm from has a lot of sugar in the diet; however it might not be popular enough to be included in international asian restuarants. But I can't be sure as we don't really measure the amount of sugar went into cooking. It might be there isn't much at all.
