It is surprising that Campbell Soup has not capitalized on the obesity reducing properties of their (non dairy) soups. Soups are quite seasonable in the US and norther Europe, but in Asia soups are popular year round. The water in the soup fills people up and reduces their caloric consumption without thinking about it. Evidently all people eat based on weight and portion size cues as opposed to caloric density.
