Question the Conventional

C.R.E.A.M. Dolla, Dolla bills y’all!!!

I don’t exactly remember where C.R.E.A.M. came from.  I think it was either Public Enemy or maybe N.W.A..( do I use a second period after the period in N.W.A.?  I am going to, so you grammar whores get off of ass.  It is my blog).  C.R.E.A.M. stands for Cash Rules Everything Around Me. 

Jamie and I do all our food prep on Sundays and typically that’s when we have some good conversations about food/nutrition/prep.  She went to the grocery store to get food for us (the cashier remarked “is there anything that you didn’t get?”.  Is that good?  I don’t think so.  Especially when it is only 3 people in our house!!!) and got some ice cream as our cheat meal for the week.  Au Naturel.  When she compared the ingredients between the All Natural Chocolate Ice Cream and the Regular Chocolate Ice Cream from the same manufacturer there were 4 in the natural and 15 in the regular!!! 

 

Helloooooooo this is FU#$ING ICE CREAM PEOPLE!!!  Milk, sugar, cream and cocoa!!!  Why wouldn’t you want to make it out of all natural ingredients?

 
Well because it is cheaper to make it out of:

MILK, CREAM, SUGAR, COCONUT BASE(CORN SYRUP, WATER, SUGAR, COCONUT, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, NATURAL FLAVOR, SALT, XANTHAN GUM, GUAR GUM, CELLULOSE GUM, CITRIC ACID), PIE PIECES[CREAM CHEESE(MILK, CREAM, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, PHOSPHORIC, LACTIC, AND ACETIC ACIDS, CAROB BEAN GUM), SUGAR, GRAHAM CRUMBS (WHEAT FLOUR, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, GRAHAM FLOUR, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN AND/OR COTTONSEED OIL, SODIUM BICARBONATE, SALT, HONEY, ANNATTO, TUMERIC, VITAMIN A PALMITATE), EGGS, WATER, NONFAT MILK, COCONUT MILK, TOASTED COCONUT, DEXTROSE, BUTTER, GLYCERIN], CORN SYRUP, WHEY, NONFAT MILK, MONO & DIGLYCERIDES, GUAR GUM, CARRAGEENAN.

then milk, cream, sugar and/or cocoa?

 

C.R.E.A.M = cash rules everything around me.  It is cheaper to make food from man made ingredients then all natural nature made ingredients.  Craziness man, craziness.
