If one were to survey one hundred people of varying ages, and ask, "What is one of America's favorite frozen treats", ice cream would undeniably be a top answer. Consumed in the quantity of 1.6 billion gallons a year in the U.S. alone, ice cream is a part of many American "food" traditions and has popularity that extends even beyond our borders (The History of Ice Cream). In exploring the topic of ice cream, it doesn't take long to realize it has a rich history, it has stayed the same and yet has certainly evolved over time thanks to advances in technology, and it is often confused with other frozen treats such as gelato. The history of ice cream is an interesting one; many might think its origins may be fairly new (the last 100 or so years), but nothing could be further from the truth. Though nothing dating back can be precisely accurate, it is strongly speculated, that frozen style treats date back to B.C. 2. There are accounts in The Bible that would suggest during harvesting season, King Solomon enjoyed frozen beverages. Furthermore, it has been found that Alexander the Great even refreshed himself with snow sweetened with honey or other sweet "syrups". Obviously these treats weren't what would be defined today as "ice cream", rather, these were more along the lines of slushies. Nonetheless, even then, people were experimenting with and enjoying the combinations that can be made with snow/ice and sweet flavors. The Chinese ruler King T'ang of Shang during the T'ang dynasty is generally credited with creating the first real ice cream. It consisted of ice, fermented/heated milk (koumiss), camphor, and flour. The common thread with these leaders is that they all had ice men and/or runners. These peoples' jobs were simply ... ... middle of paper ... ...ream typically contain 50% or more air content after the churning process...where as gelato contains less than 30% air content (Nutrition Facts on Gelato Compared to Ice Cream). This lack of air is what gives gelato its dense texture. Though both of these treats are enjoyed all over world, they aren't the same thing. In general, gelato is considered more of a European frozen dessert, while ice cream is considered more of an American frozen dessert. Ice cream must have something to offer young and old alike. Not only has it stood the test of time in its original state, but with the advances of technology, ice cream has grown in the capabilities to be used to make many new dessert creations and concoctions. I think it is safe to say that across the country, ice cream is one of America's favorite frozen treats...with so many flavors and varieties, why wouldn't it be?
Everyone is looking for better and healthier life! People today pay more and more attention to the food they eat, they want it to be healthy and tasty, on the other side modern life is so dynamic and eventful, that the food must be fast. So you need to come up with something that will support all these needs. The great solution is Frozen Yogurt. It is a refreshing, savory dessert that combines the flavors and textures of ice cream and sherbet. Frozen yogurt is a new-comer in the dessert market. Nevertheless, “the history of frozen desserts dates back thousands of years to Asia where water ices were first made.’’ (wiki) Yogurt was brought to the U.S. in the early 1900s and steadily increased in popularity as a health food item over the next several decades. By the 1970s, with the popularity of ice cream technology was transferred to the production of frozen yogurt. But it’s entry into the dessert market was a distinct failure—consumers complained that it tasted too much like yogurt. Relaying on consumer demand for a sweet product that tasted like ice cream, TCBY opened its first store in 1981. The highest popularity comes to Fro-yo by the mid 1990s. But in the late 1990s as Americans turned their attention to high-protein, high-fat diets, demand for frozen yogurt slowed considerably. Low-fat foods such as frozen yogurt fell out of favor as food trends preferred higher fat and lower cost ice cream at the turn of the millennium. Trends changed back to frozen yogurt in the mid 2000s with the advent of live probiotic powder-based mixes. Over the last decade the production of frozen yogurt has grown multi-million dollar business with dozens of competing companies.
There should be limit’s that stop’s food companies from promoting themselves as appealing when in reality their food products are a hazard to our bodies. As Barboza states in his article “There is a need to set specific standards on what is marketed to children…” we are in agreement that, what ever kids see on T.V. or being marketed, they want it! As a child I remember that I wanted many things I saw on T.V. like Carl's Jr, Lucky Charms, Mcdonald's, Gushers, ect… When eating these food products, as you get older it affects your health. A good
Before ice could be preserved in refrigerators, keeping ice cold was a major problem. Back in this time there wasn't good enough technology to refrigerate good enough. Before the invention of refrigerators the only way to cool objects was an insulated box filled with ice. During the time the insulated box was around it only worked for a short time.Although the insulated box also required lots of ice it cooled things very good. Ice was hard to be obtained in summer so it made it even harder to cool things(Burton 52). Before the 1830s it was not possible to manufacture ice.Before the 1830s ice had to be gathered in the winter. The ice that was gathered was stored until summer and then sold for profit. William Cotton saw an opportunity to organize a company and he did.(Burton 52) John Custer became William Cotton’s partner in 1840 in the ice business. To produce ice they made a dam for ice production in the winter. The dam had problems and collapsed which was a big problem(Burton 52). Custer abandoned Mr. Cotton in 1875. Custer left cotton all on his own. John Beard helped Custer build a dam and got partnership of the company as a reward. In 1905 Beard was basically running the whole company. Then in 1905 the companies name was changed to Beard Ice company( Burton 52). Beard now had a slogan. The slog...

In the center of the Gininngagap, the ice and fire met and formed the great giant (Jötunn) Ymir. From Ymir more giants formed. As he slept, he had sweat a giant from each of his armpits, a male and a female. And from his legs, a third giant formed. These giants were the first frost giants (Jötnar). The giants were breastfed by Auðumbla, a giant cow that was also created in the Gininngagap from the Niflheim ice being melted by the Muspelheim fire that met in the middle.
When he was discovered on September 19th, 1991, Iceman had a coat made of goat skin and shoes made from grass and the skins of bear and deer. Scientists say he is about 5,300 years old. They found signs of his last meal, which consisted of vegetables, some meat, and grain in his stomach. Iceman is now on display at South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Italy. He is stored in a cell that is kept at a constant temperature of -6 degrees Celsius.
Even though there is no evidence that it is directly connected to obesity rates, it is still important for many reasons. The first reason many marketers believe that advertising directly to children is unethical especially since children can easily manipulated using different advertising techniques such as using celebrities and popular cartoon characters to tell the children to buy products. Also, children don’t recognize the exaggeration in the commercials that are commonly used to create an advertising buzz or catch phrase. One example to that situation is the Red Bull commercials. Red Bull usually use cartoon figures in their commercial and have a common theme in their commercial, which is when you drink Red Bull, it gives you wings. They actually use the slogan “Red Bull Gives you wings” in all of their advertising campaigns. Of course if an adult see that commercial, they would understand that it is a false claim and it is used just for fun. While on the hand, if children see that commercial, it is most likely that they would believe that drinking Red Bull would actually give them wings. Another reason on why they should band Food Advertising to children is that food consumption of people is actually developed since childhood. There is a study conducted by the Columbia university about food consumption patterns and their found out that the food that children usually consume during their childhood
Flavored milk, such as chocolate milk is designed to be a tastier alternative to plain milk. In 1942, chocolate milk only accounted for “2.2 percent of the total fluid milk consumption in [U.S.] cities and villages” (Hadary 210-213) However, as of 2009, “...flavored milks [in U.S schools such as strawberry and chocolate milk] account for seventy percent (emphasis added) of all the milk [children] drink” (Lunau 48), with chocolate milk accounting for around sixty-two percent of all milk (Hanks, Just, and Wansink) . Flavored milk’s popularity in the United States is controversial, given the fact that chocolate milk contains added sugar to make it have “roughly [the same amount of sugar] as a glass of orange juice” (Lunau 48). Currently, there

The Iceman constitutes the first prehistoric human ever found with his everyday clothing and equipment, and presumably going about his normal business; other similarly intact bodies from prehistory have been either carefully buried or sacrificed. He brings us literally face to face with the remote past (Paul Bahn, 1996). When Otzi died up on the mountain 5,300 years ago, his final resting place was a trench that ironically saved him. With his body face down over a bolder, large rocks lined the small nook he was in. Eventually, massive amounts of snow fell over the body, the snow compacted and froze forming a glacier. Over thousands of years the glacier built up layers and inched its way forward. Because of the trench Otzi was in, the ice creaked along above him, completely shielding him from any outside influences for many years.
He started by introducing Ice Age Meals with a innovative poem. Ice Age Meals is food in form of ice cream with a variety of flavors like meat, lasagna, chicken, spaghetti and many more. According to the sharks it had a wonderful taste, each meal cost around $19.99 and contain 500 calories.
