Interesting, and looks tasty --- although that looks like a one-pager that comes from here: http://www.carbawhey.com/Arctic-Zero-Products.html I kinda wish they were organic, although they're not so cheap, either: http://www.shop.carbawhey.com/main.sc Ouch! <grin> Hi, Brian.

It's 128 calories for the whole pint! It's all natural, lactose intolerant friendly, and it's got like 20 grams of protein in it. And it surprisingly tastes really really good. Their website is www.myarcticzero.com and they have it in a lot of store in California and they ship it overnight if you're not close to a store.

I had heard this before, and wanted anyone who is similarly shocked to know that Julie's and Alden's are definitely 100% organic from head to toe. I know somebody who works in the industry and told me that he has asked people there, and they say it is the real thing. So, enjoy those brands if you get a sweet tooth! Very very interesting.

Indeed. That is the question, isn't it? I've heard all kinds of arguments kicked around among consumers and/or food industry people, including: since all food is not available in organic form, then if organic markets only stocked pure organic food, the shelves would be mostly empty --- and that would drive customers away. That seems a little preposterous to me, and hardly prevents manufacturers from fully revealing what is in their products, which would leave consumers (and organic markets) better able to make their own choices. That individual manufacturers may not reveal all, but in so doing may yet adhere to the letter of the law, says plenty about them *and* the law. But, if the FDA is going to be the arbiter of organic food labeling (and it is), you would think they'd insist on full disclosure of ingredients if their interests lie in protecting American consumers. That they do not insist on full disclosure speaks rather volumes. (And not too pleasantly.) > WHY does the FDA food labeling law not require these ingredients to be listed on the ingredients list?

I remember when I was researching ice cream machines at Amazon.com --- I was astounded by the number of people who were warning people not to use eggs, but rather to use a substitute. Yuck. Use substitutes, nuke it to cook it, and you have -what?- I guess it's still edible, and may even taste good (although that's arguable) --- but is it nourishment for the body? Yes.

By making our own ice cream, we don't have to wonder if we are ruining our health. Who knows what other ingredients are in store bought ice cream. We have to take responsibility for what goes into our bodies and find out what's good for us and what's not. Processed "ice cream" is not good for us. Too many chemical "ingredients" inimical to our health are employed. Combine that with the consumption of other "processed" foods with their "ingredients" and we are set up to become "sick men and women of America." It's also good to know what exactly are we eating?
