Argentines are obsessed with "light" food. All the most popular sodas here are made with calorie-free chemical sugars, crackers, cheese, cookies, everything has a light version. Women are constantly thinking about their weight, about their looks. They usually don't even breakfast (just cigarettes and mate) maybe lunch, maybe just more mate. And you can sometimes hear them turning things down with a "me estoy cuidando." (I'm taking care of myself.)
But this, this was going a little too far. This is fat-free cream. Not milk, cream. (Although really, it must just be milk by that point.) It just seemed to be taking the trend a little too far.
