I lived in one of the wealthier cities in Southeast Asia for many years. Holy hell, the amount of snacking was huge there even though, you know- we Americans always shovel food in our mouths. My colleagues would routinely eat 3-4 slices of sweetened bread at their desks as a snack! Portions were indeed smaller, but I actually gained weight there because it was all white carbs, pork and veggies soaked in oil.[/quote]

The snacks/teas mentioned above do not occur DAILY! They happen on special occasion or as a special treat.  I'm from Asia, and we also have a meal we call afternoon tea between lunch and dinner, however, we had this tea no more than maybe once or twice a month.  And when did have those teas, the snacks were not sickly sweet.

I studied abroad in London for 6 months, and we had afternoon tea precisely once, at a hotel to celebrate someone's birthday. [/quote]

Second PP, maybe you didn't grow up in the wealthier Southeast Asian city the first PP is referring to, and the food culture where you grew up is different from the food culture in that wealthier Southeast Asian city?[/quote]
