What do you know is BAD for you, but you can't help but think is "GOOD"!

 

I think obviously ice cream is high in calories, but I don't see why
quality ice cream would be that bad for you. Natural ingredients
like milk, cream, sugar and flavours.

So, dig in laddie.

Yeah, it is the calories and so the potential for more weight, and then this leading to being type 2 diabetic. Geez, even my wife who's about 56 kg has been warned about it...type 2 that is. Never heard about it when growing up. Yet another new age disease.

But anyway, cheers SPQR. I'll up my intake. And when my SO gives me the evil, I'll just says "Hey, talk to SPQR about it," 

The Waygook discussion boards.

Lol...

Good one Savant!

Nope, that's a pint. Same as Baskin Robbins...now about 9000 won (went up recently). And yes, I'm exaggerating, but you get the point. If I could, I would..eat copius amounts of good ice cream.

Ah Ok, I just found out there's a difference between US and UK pints. All this time when Americans mentioned pints of ice cream I thought they were talking about 568 ml, which is a British one. So not as greedy as I'd thought.

Yeah sugar...it's a killer for real. I try to avoid it, but I'm a baker. I don't use it in bread and reduce it by up to 50% in cakes and cookies.

I recall in uni reading about a ship of pirates (yes, in the Caribbean, this story published pre-1994, so nothing about the movies) that landed on a small island with only a ton (who knows how many tons) of sugar destined for America, and plenty of Carribean-distilled barrels of rum. After about a week of ONLY eating sugar and drinking rum, over half the crew had died. Science shows us that a water-only fast is survivable for over a month! (Now, maybe they had no water to drink, and heat stroke is dangerous; in any event, the white sugar and rum appear to have contributed to if not outright caused their deaths).
