Ice Cream Sandwiches

A local news channel covered a story just recently about Walmart Ice cream sandwiches. Yep. Random, and who really cares? Well, what they found out was interesting, But what they did next made me want to throw my remote at the TV screen. The story goes like this:   A woman gave her  8 yr old son an ice cream sandwich. It was 90 degrees outside and he wanted something cold to snack on. As all 8 yr olds do, he took a bite, got distracted and set his ice cream sandwich down on the porch. Mother came out the next morning and found the ice cream sandwich. The strange thing is, it didn’t melt. Well, the news channel caught wind of this and did a test. They took 4 leading brands of ice cream and put them out in the heat. The results? The ice cream that was made with the least ingredients melted in 10 minutes (Like ice cream should melt in 90 degree weather. )  Wal-mart’s brand of ice cream? Didn’t fully melt. Of course, the news anchor, trying to please her advertisers, went on to say that there was nothing wrong with Wal-mart’s ice cream and that it was completely healthy. (This was repeated and emphasized 3 times) WOW. Talk about mis-information and MONEY controlling the media. When eating ice cream, remember this: 1. If you are going to eat ice cream, make sure that your body has a line of defense such as a good probiotic . Probiotics have been shown in hundreds of studies to help you digest dairy, keep you from bloating, and improving overall digestion/stomach issues. 2. Ice cream is never healthy. It is a delicious treat, but don’t eat it and think it is good for you. 3. Ice cream that doesn’t melt is SCARY. If the heat and the sun have problems breaking food down, think about what it is doing to your body. (Artificial chemicals prevent the ice cream from melting)
