Pretty soon we will live in an all vanilla world without any flavor at all. We don't want to offend those with peanut allergy, so no one can enjoy rocky road. The kids with diabetes will feel left out, so we will use only sugar free ice cream. Wait, what about the lactose intolerant. (This is the only kind in intolerance that we can tolerate because is is a disease and it has a much higher incidence in certain minorities.) We will have to use sugar free vanilla frozen soy product.
There, now every one is happy and no one is left out. No......what about the obese kids? Oh, they are more than 50% of all kids now and therefore a majority. We will just give their share of the ice "cream" to the rest.
We should be teaching kids to learn about and appreciate ALL of the variety in the world. That is what makes life exciting and wonderful.
