Frozen Dessert

Our freezer must always have ice cream. A low supply sends an alert But my husband’s last trip to the market Brought home something called “frozen dessert.” The packaging looked just like always. We missed the distinction at first So we ate it, but knowing the difference, I thought we should have been reimbursed. For a “frozen dessert” needs no dairy – Just some fillers and sugars and oil As compared to what’s used to make ice cream; Well, the thought makes my blood start to boil. Now I’ve learned to read all of the labels Since dessert-wise, my number 1 goal Is to know that my favorite flavor Of ICE CREAM gets put in my bowl.

I avoid as many process food as I can, and I do read the labels on foods I buy! The government is criminally lax on checking the food industry.Why do you think so many Americans look like tubs of lard! If ice cream is your thing, buy the very best – but read the ingredients first. You just might be surprised, Ilene. / Maurice

As they say, when all else fails -- read the instructions: Guess that applies to ingredients too! Caveat emptor. ~ Octavius Caesar
