    Seriously though, in 500+ responses since my OP no one has actually shown me why they're labeled as "junk" food (pop tarts). I'm especially curious as to how ice cream can be labeled as such? Is it the sugar-phobia?

    Edited for horrid grammar

    Real ice cream is not junk :love: - the low fat low sugar stuff though......... :noway:

    I would like to second the motion that toaster strudel is tastier than pop tarts.
    Thank you for your consideration
    I prefer an "everything in moderation" approach. Therefore, I eat toaster strudels once in a while and pop tarts once in a while.

    I can tell you, my ice cream is not junk.

    Have you met the cow that made it or did you get it in a store?
    Price?
    How was the milk used to make the ice cream produced? Were the cows stressed?
    What type of injections were the cow given?
    Is the belief that your ice cream isn't junk based on personal taste buds?
    :ohwell:



    I'll accept a nutritional content label if that's all ya got but I'd rather know about the cow's stress levels and vaccination history.

    It's a sin. I'm pretty sure it's in the bible somewhere.

    Agree.

    Is it still a sin if you get the unfrosted ones and spread them with rainbow chip frosting?

    Nope

    Most people: all good in moderation
    a few people: butthurt whine whine that might work for you on your calorie allowance, but it won't work for me
    a few people: would rather have veggies. veggies =/= poptarts.
    one person: pop tarts = illegal drugs and smoking.

    Lol - this is such a good summary ... it made me think this could almost be a summary of nearly every post I have ever read on mfp!!!

    because they don't have any significant benefit nutritionally?

    Seriously, y'all need to get your hands on some actual maple syrup and cook with it. Or grind up a fresh glass of sugar cane or something. It's like going from rubbing alcohol to fine brandy.


    Pop tarts. *shakes head*

    That gets a pass, IMO. Butter would be acceptable as well.

    I am not too fond of store bought Pop Tarts but I sure do love my home made ones with Nutella and Strawberry jam! Makes me drool just thinking of them. Now I need to go get some Ice Cream!

    How so? Carbs, fat, protein, vitamins (and some micros too)...

    Agree, but what does that have to do with anything in this discussion? Are you implying you can't achieve a good body composition with pop tarts or ice cream?

    Looks like pop tarts cause melanoma. Have you had that looked at?

    Pop tart is the perfect bulking food.

    In for part 2


    When I was bulking I could eat 8 a day, now I have to cut that in half.:sad:

    I do hope you are joking. I know of at least one RIPPED, gorgeous MFP member here who eats ice cream daily.

    Anyway, here is my little contribution. In looking for poptart ice cream images, I found this treasure. Apparently, she took chocolate chip cookie dough, sandwiched it between 2 pieces of pie crust, baked it, and slopped ice cream and chocolate syrup on top. I'm gonna' make it.

    What's EMPTY about them? Please explain it to me. Define it.
