Warm ice cream? So does this mean that milk and other ingredients that must remain cold will be eliminated? Sounds disgusting so I’m switching to Mayfield.

Klem, this is a good idea when you are buying local foods that are in-season but I don’t think it will help much if you are buying fresh produce that is being shipped from another part of the world. One thing you can do is to buy alot of fresh local produce when it is in-season and then preserve it yourself by freezing or canning it. That’s what I have been learning to do the last couple of years and it has been working great! It’s healthier, better for the environment and it supports my local economy.

Well said Klem. This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Birkenstock wearing, Prius driving tree huggers coming up with another “solution” to a “crisis” that doesn’t exist. Ben & Jerry lost a customer today.

I had never thought of that before. I now think that any frozen products which need to be transported and stored should be outlawed. So Ice cream, ice cubes, frozen vegetables, frosen pizza, meats, etc. should all be prepared and sold fresh. Otherwise the carbon footprint is just too large. I will not buy any frozen products from now on, and I will begin to exert pressure on my representatives to create laws which forbid these products. Thanks for the article, it’s an eye opener.
