I'm just sitting here wondering how long it will take you to eat all that...and I hope the answer is at least a month.

I love pistachio ice cream.

plus ice cream is easily in the top 3 sex foods of all time, so I would try and expense it as a health and fitness expense :)

Will all you Ben & Jerry's advocates stop the blasphemy? B&J's is good, but Haagen Dazs pistachio > all.

typically you can judge quality by fat content. more the better. dreyers is pretty close to haagen daz..which i find to be overrated. esp for chocolate. if u want that and want premium..go godiva. otherwise dreyers/breyers is good enough, almost no chance you'd find a difference in a blind taste test. and yea i bought a few of the haagen daz ...coffee was so mildly coffeeish. very dissapointing. chocolate chocolate chip was also dissapointing.. so was rocky road:p blah. the white chocolate with berry something was ok though. sorta cheesecake-ish.

and don't buy low fat premium ice cream...thats like a contradiction of terms.

That Diet Coke you're drinking is probably more detrimental to your health than my strawberry sorbet.

I don't.

Your body can handle natural fats and sugars much easier than synthetic chemicals like the artifical sweeteners in Diet Coke.

Okay, come now.

I've read all about the evils of artificial sweeteners, and I'm pretty sure they're not good for you. But from what I've gathered, it only makes a real impact if you consume many cans of aspartame/sucralose sweetened beverages every day. However, constantly eating ice cream and other such nutritionless crap is going to make you fat.

I really don't care much though, personally, because I don't eat ice cream, I almost never drink soda, and I eat a lot of unprocessed food. Eat stuff that doesn't come in a box. It's good for you.

I once tried to really figure out the truth behind aspartame/nutrasweet. But then I realized it was about as possible as it is to figure out who is telling the truth in the political world. :p



So many people look for an alternative to sugary, nutrient-lacking foods, when they should really be retraining their taste buds to enjoy food that actually has some merit. Sugar is addictive, and if you simply cut out artificially sweetened crap from your diet, your cravings for it will probably vanish within a week or two. It's amazing.

your body can handle aritifical sweetners just fine. the problem with diet foods is they tend to encourage over eating which defeats the whole purpose. diet sodas are known to highten apetite..

sugar soda of course is worst since its neither filling or low cal:p so diet soda isn't bad if you choose it over soda. but for treats its better to eat something solid.

just use reason:p
