Consumption of regular dairy ice cream, which does not include frozen yogurt, sherbet or non- and low-fat ice creams, has been falling for years, according to the US Department of Agriculture.

    While I have no basis for this

    I think the reason Ice Cream fell out of favor is because it’s a “Normal sugary sweet”.

    It’s easy to eliminate.

    Meanwhile, sugar has increased in just about everything else we eat.

      I think you mean FAKE sugar. Holy hell is it everywhere. And it’s so damn sweet.

      I actually enjoy having a sodastream just so I can still buy the occasional energy drink or soda, and add some extra carbonated water to tone down the sweetness.

      You know how much I’d love to see a coca-cola with “low cane sugar” as an option? Just give me cane sugar… but less of it!!

      I really wish instead of switching from real sugar to artificial sweetener, companies would simply use less sugar. But no, artificial sweetener is CHEAPER than real sugar, and makes the item taste sweeter, so it’s a win-win, right?
