I do agree with all of the comments regarding how disgusting it is that KD is now such an inferior product with so many chemicals and additives in the ice cream that it hardly is that anymore.
However, I have to say that I find it hilarious that there is so much outrage here about this product that is sold at Costco and elsewhere but I hardly see any outrage about other food products sold at Costco (and elsewhere).
What about the Asian-bred shrimp that is sold in cesspools that are then chemically bleached with all kind of horrible chemicals and then refilled to grow more shrimp? Every time I am at Costco I check if they have wild non-Asian farm bred shrimp, but never.
What about the farmed salmon that Costco sells that is grown in netted off areas of the ocean where the salmon are infested with so much lice and other diseases and fed tons of antibiotic pellets as a result? And also fed food chosen from a colour wheel to match red dyes that will give them the colour the fishery wants?
What about the pine nuts from China that Costco sells that are sprayed with a chemical that causes 'pine nut mouth' (google in and thousands of posts will come up about it). I've gotten it twice. Makes food unpalatable for 4-14 days.
What about the cans of fish and sardines at Costco with bisphenol-A in the can liner, known to be a toxic substance and now banned in many countries for food container use?
I could go on and on. The fact is no one is outraged about these disgusting food products because there is no list of ingredients on the label for people to look at at most people do not care to investigate the background of the food.
But, ice cream? Oh wow, aren't we oh so suddenly upset about what goes into Kawartha Dairy's ice cream. But, only because they made it easy for us and put the ingredients on the label. Other food products can be just as bad. You just don't know, or really care because they didn't make it easy for you to know and care.
But, don't get me wrong, Costco does have many eco-friendly and organic food products, along with some frozen fish that is not farmed but wild caught, or tomato sauce in glass bottles without the nasty bisphenol-A, etc. and I do like to shop there, but I am very picky about what I will buy and put in my body.
I just had to write something because I found the many response and focus on this one single product quite interesting to occur when others are just as bad if not worse but there is rarely outrage (and certainly not with this many messages in a little over a day).
Ok my rant is over, lol.
