The ice cream example aside

What is it about ice-cream? I had one as recently as a month ago, and, well, what?

There's nothing especially wrong with ice cream, that I know of. But abramdemsky disagrees:

Eating ice cream is bad as a matter of fact (this doesn't seem to require much argument). It's just a superstimulus for "good food", and furthermore, negatively impacts health.
