is homemade ice cream healthier?

so, here's the thing. i just got in this stupid big fight with my step dad about whether homemade ice cream is healthier or not... like who even argues over that, right? we were both standing there in the kitchen with our arms crossed and everything. he kept insisting that because it's made at home, it must be healthier. i mean, come on! you can load it up with sugar or cream just as much as a store-bought one.

i tried explaining that the ingredients matter more than where it's made, but nope - he wasn't having any of it. he just went off on a tangent about how things were better when you did them yourself at home; if only life was that simple! i'm all for whipping up a storm in the kitchen but let's not kid ourselves. sure, you have control over what goes in, but does anyone really put less sugar in their treats? nah!

oh man, i remember my mom used to make this killer chocolate chip ice cream when i was little. she bragged about using pure cocoa and organic milk - like okay mom, still packed with sugar though! i guess we just want to believe that putting some effort makes everything magically healthy.

in the end i just shrugged it off and decided not to waste more breath on it. he's stubborn and probably thinks hippies have all the answers 😂 anyway i'm done with talking ice creams for today.
