FLR 017: You Scream, I Scream for Ice Cream

INGREDIENT OF THE DAY:  Pea Protein In today’s show, I’m going to explore ice cream, America’s favorite summertime treat.  Here are some topics that I’ll touch upon:  What is the origin of ice cream?  What is the official federal definition of ice cream?  What’s the difference between ice cream and frozen desserts?  How do you tell the difference between a real ice cream and a fake one?  And, as usual, I’ll be looking at ingredients, particularly new ones.  The national brand Breyers will be used for all the examples in this show since that company pretty much has products for every type of ice cream known to humankind.  Lastly, details for the first book giveaway will be provided.    Show Notes: To Contact Show:  [email protected] The podcast can be subscribed to at the iTunes store.  Search under Food Labels Revealed.
