Every Sunday or so, Dave and I go grocery shopping.

I've made it a habit to keep ice cream in the house. I'm not sure why, but I do, and I enjoy my ice cream. I refuse to buy low-fat/low-whatever/omg-ur-a-whale-if-u-don't-buy-this "ice cream", unless it's exactly what I want.

This particular Sunday, I decided that I didn't want my standard last-exactly-one-week "pint" of Ben & Jerry's/Dove/Haagen-Dazs, but perhaps something different, as the pint flavors were somewhat limited.

I search the freezers, and I find this stuff by Breyer's, Overload! Waffle Cone.

Looks tasty, doesn't it? No crazy "low calorie"/"low fat"/"Atkins approved" BS, just a tasty carton of ice cream.

I open it, I eat it, and while the caramel and wafflecone are not bad, the ice cream section leaves something to be desired. Whatever, I'm a fatass, I eat my ice cream.

I go to put it away, and out of curiosity, check the side panel. Now I know why my ice cream leaves something to be desired: 130 calories and 3 g fat a .5 cup serving. My normal ice cream has 300c and 16g per the same amount, iirc.

I may well have bought some stupid low everything "ice cream"...

I'm buying that stupid Coffee-heath-bar tub when I'm done with this stuff.

Man, you eat a lot of ice cream. And I don't see how it can be healthier if it's got wafflecone bits and caramel in it. :S

Low- and non-fat ice cream should be outlawed. I read somewhere that there are food labeling regulations. Something about the fat content of the ice cream? I think it might be something like if it doesn't have enough fat, it isn't strictly ice CREAM, it's more like ice MILK. Which, let's face it, is NOT as appetizing as full-fat, full-bodied flavor (pun sorta intended) ice cream.

I want ice-cream but I don't want ice-cream. Lately all the ice-cream I eat seem to have been left in the fridge for too long.
