Ben & Jerry’s newest flavor makes a mouthful of a statement about one of the biggest political agendas under the Obama administration – climate change.

“Save Our Swirled” is a raspberry-based ice cream with marshmallow and fruity swirls, flecked with miniature dark-and-white-fudge ice cream cone bits. The blog Take Part reported the product hit store shelves on Wednesday, in conjunction with a company campaign against climate change.

Hmmm ... that IS a good question: what’s the carbon footprint of a pint of gourmet ice cream?

I really, really don't like these people

Who? "Ben and Jerry"? After making their millions as folksy Vermont entrepreneurs providing a healthy product with personality, they cashed out for even more millions to Unilever ages ago.

Now that ice cream is just another HFCS laden manufactured mess with clever names and cute cows on their wall murals.

How's that for another reason not to like them? <^..^>

Ha! Ben & Jerry should consider stopping production of ice cream altogether. They should think of all the fuel used to ship their product. They should think of all the energy consumed by freezers to store their product, not only at the store, but at home as well. They should think about all the trees that had to be cut down to make their containers. We all need to sacrifice and do our part and B&J could lead by example and quit the business.

Obviously they care, we apparently, don’t. That’s what makes them special.

Do they list the carbon footprint of the ice cream on the package?

I’ll venture it’s considerably greater than my drive to work in my little Honda.

The sad thing is that they’ve fallen for the lie of Gen 3:4-5 and believe they can “save themselves” through their own advocacy.

” “Save Our Swirled” is a raspberry-based ice cream with marshmallow and fruity swirls, flecked with miniature dark-and-white-fudge ice cream cone bits.”

It should be watermelon-flavored. (Green on the outside, red on the inside.)

Somebody should tell ol’ Ben & Jerry that 40% of carbon dioxide is caused by livestock. Oh yeah, and evil cars? 5% to 8% tops.

They are owned by a multinational conglomerate now.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Ben and Jerry's has sold out.

Over priced and average ice cream. Haven’t visited a store in 15 years
