The buzz around town

Eat your vegetables for dessert

If munching on your salad sounds like too much of an effort, ask anyone you know who’s coming from Japan to get you Haagen Dazs’s latest line of Spoon vege ice-creams. They’ve currently introduced two flavours — carrot orange and tomato cherry. Apparently, this line will contain only 8.5 per cent milk fat — which is approximately half of the milk fat in regular ice-creams from the brand, making this a tad healthier. What are your thoughts on this? Would you try it out for dessert?
