Post 101 - Ice Cream For The Betterment Of Mankind

While having the delectable afore-blogged ice cream, I came thinking about world politics.

The basic thought here is 'If everyone had ice-cream, the world would be a better place". Ice-cream is the kind of food that is nice. Apart from sweet, creamy and delicious, nice is a good word to describe the emotional appeal of the dessert. (Calling ice-cream 'dessert' does not in any way discount the consumption of ice cream as a breakfast, lunch or dinner entree item.) If we all felt nicer, maybe we wouldn't be picking so many fights with one another.

Sometimes we get thorny because we feel like we're missing out. Chill dude, all that anger and frustration could be put to rest with a little cool scoop of vanilla. Small bites of creamy, sugary, icy-cold temptation would calm an angry soul. If Saddam had some ice-cream when he got pissed, may be wouldn't have been such a tyrant. Perhaps we can send the people of North Korea and their leader a whole batch of Chunky Monkey before we begin 6-party talks over nuclear disarmament.

You don't see upset people eating ice-cream, do you? Consumers (yes, literal consumers) of ice-cream are calm, unflustered individuals with a zen-like serenity, with a rational head and raised blood sugar levels (whoops!). Or they attain this state of enlightenment after a few mouthfuls of the good stuff. (We have seen countless examples of post-dump people on TV feel so much better after a pint.) Mid- or post-ingestion, they make good sweet decisions and help with the dishes.

Ice-cream for everyone! Someone tell the UN and pay Nestle or Tip-Top or some other major ice-cream manufacturers to distribute ice-cream worldwide at low cost to governments. Ice-cream to emancipate the down-trodden and cool the hot-headed! Creamy goodness to fill stomachs and elevate serotonin levels! Mint chocolate endorphins! Boysenberry swirl happiness! Neopolitan (not the pasta sauce) niceness!
