Snacks and Desserts: Part 2

Q: Is Ice Cream still unhealthy in the winter?

A: No. You are doing the ice cream a favor.

It’s 20 below and your car is frozen to the driveway. But you just can’t shake that yearning for double chocolate fudge ice cream with sprinkles. You toss on your snow suit and a pair of boots that may have been made from Sasquatch’s sister and laugh in the face of winter. You have a mission. You my friend are heading out for dessert. You are braving the cold and the snow and the sleet so that the ice cream can realize its full deliciously sweet and creamy potential. The least it can do is be calorie free. Ungrateful ice cream.

Pros: Any sundae toppings are also calorie-free. They would just be sitting around playing poker if it weren’t for you. (Yes, ice cream fixin’s love to gamble when they aren’t being eaten. Many a mini non pareil has been lost during a wager.)

Cons: This doesn’t work if you are pregnant and send your husband out for the ice cream. The calories go away because of effort. Don’t give up your dreams of being a mother just yet. There are plenty of ways to get out of calories if you are carrying a child.

This is totally true right?
