[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just have a scoop of real ice cream. Moderation is your friend.[/quote]

can you stay on topic?[/quote]

What, and turn down a golden opportunity to shame a pregnant woman for what she's eating?  How could PP possibly pass that up?[/quote]
It has nothing to do with her being pregnant. I'd everyone to avoid the diet stuff and eat the real thing. That is not shaming. [/quote]

It's not shaming to state one's opinion that it's better to eat a reasonable amount of the "real" food than a substitute engineered to resemble that real food.  I'd rather have a scoop of real ice cream than a pint of something trying to be ice cream without the fat and calories.  Does no one remember Snackwells?[/quote]

did you read the ingredients? it's really nothing scary. so much fear-mongering over nothing.

NP, but I don't think PP is fear mongering. [b]That recipe list looks like it makes something ice cream-ish, purely for the sake of marketing to "health" at twice the price[/b], when there is nothing healthy about it. Pregnant or not, you really would be better served having a proper serving of good quality ice cream vs. This concoction. [/quote]

Yeah, that was my comment, and that's exactly what I meant.

Halo Top Vanilla Bean ingredients: Milk and cream, eggs, erythritol, prebiotic fiber, milk protein concentrate, organic cane sugar, vegetable glycerin, organic vanilla extract, organic vanilla beans, sea salt, organic carob gum, organic guar gum, organic stevia.

Haagen Dazs Vanilla: cream, skim milk, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract

Is ice cream a health food?  No.  But it's fine in moderation, and I think if you want ice cream, just eat some damn ice cream.  Personally, I'd rather eat a reasonable serving of real ice cream, which will fully satisfy my craving, than some "ice cream" that won't.
