Almost 4 litres of ice cream per month? Every month? And someone wonders why there are so many type 2 diabetes cases...

  That’s about 250 calories per day, which is pretty reasonable for a daily treat. And I actually looked it up and it’s about a half gallon per American per month. I wonder if that includes children too. Probably. And then factor in the mountains of other garbage we also eat...it’s honestly a miracle that we’re not more obese than we are.

  Forgot how big a regular thing of ice cream was :p

  1 gallon/month is 1 scoop of ice cream each on 5 or 6 days per week, or on average about 12–15 grams of sugar per day. It’s about the same amount of sugar you’d get from drinking one 12 oz can of soda every third day. If it’s the only sugary treat someone is eating, that’s still well below average for people in most industrialized countries. If combined with soda/candy/cake/cookies/cocktails/... then probably not such a good idea.

  I presume this is for a family of 2-4; in that case it's arguably not much at all.
