“I scream, You scream, We all scream for ice cream!" and this isn’t a lie. The first bite melts in your mouth like butter, with the creamy soft texture and icy chilling taste. This tasty treat has always been a fan favorite, since its appearance over sixteen centuries ago. With the endless amount of flavors and cold texture, ice cream is great anytime.
Some people argue that ice cream isn’t healthy and opt to eat frozen yogurt instead. ½ a cup of frozen yogurt is 159 calories, 6 grams of fat, 24 grams of sugar and 24 grams of carbohydrates (wikipedia.com). While ½ a cup of ice cream is 207 calories, 11 grams of fat, 21 grams of sugar, and 24 grams of carbohydrates (wikipedia.com). It is true that ice cream contains more fat and calories, due to the increased sugar and heavy cream; however, just minimizing your portions, or buying a low fat ice cream, you can reduce the amount of fat and calories you consume.
Rachel Rademacher, manager of Orange Leaf, a self-serving treat franchise says, “In our situation, clearly the nutritional aspect is a factor and with the self-serve option the customers have the ability to control how much they want.”
From vanilla to chocolate, rainbow to birthday cake, and even apple cinnamon, there is no end to these tasteful ice cream flavors. “No matter what you like, there will always be an ice cream flavor out there for you” (mymomochi.com).
Miller students enjoy ice cream after a long workout or on a hot summer day. Trinity Buchanan, an 8th grade basketball player said, “ ...ice cream is refreshing after a long hard workout.”
Young athletes need a variation of food choices, that include some fat, in their diet. For 66 grams of ice cream, there is about 7 grams of fat. Ice cream can be a place they choose to get it from, and depending on the product, ice cream can still be a decent source of calcium.
There is always room for dessert and when it comes to sweets, the first thing that comes into mind is ice cream. When conducting a survey, out of the 25 people interviewed, 92% of the people said ice cream is better than frozen yogurt. Which only proves the reason why we all scream for ice cream.
