Glamrocker Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Ice cream vans do encourage obesity among our children. Why are they always at parks, surely that can't be right. The vans are plying there trade and making our children fat, why can't they sell lentils instead? Closet guy did raise a good pointm are they CRB checked and have they passed there Advanced Driving course? Do you think racist jingles are acceptable? should the ice cream vans not play something that is more in tune with modern britain? something more miserable? I think they should If its a soft ice cream van trust me there is no chance of obesity,the mix is mostly air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denlin Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 For crying out loud what causes obesity is lack of exercise. We'll just eat fruit then shall we and then we can let our children sit in front of computer all day and they won't become overweight.

Redyam Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 You missed out all the diesel fumes those vans pump out, causing breathing difficulties for children, asthma, and choking. Not to meant ion the contribution to global warming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phanerothyme Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'd ban purely them for the sound they make. How is it that an ice cream vendor can ply his trade on the streets of manhattan and get people's attention via a small bell, yet an ice cream van must use a horribly distorted rendition of the theme to "The Third Man" played too loud for the shocking PA to handle. Acoustically guided missiles. They're on my Christmas list. Besides, it's a well known fact all ice cream vans in residential areas are actually selling drugs.

CockneyMafia Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Is it responsible for an ice cream van to pull up near a childrens play area and sell ice creams? why do they have to go to locations where children tend to be? Ice cream vans encourage obesity and we are all going to have to pick up the tab when these children pile on the pounds and need NHS treatment later in life. Ice cream vans also tend to play jingles such as nursey rhymes many of which have a slight edge towards racism, some even have war jingles (ie like the one at Woodseats as it played "hitler has only got one b*ll...etc). So one the grounds of racism they should also be banned Health and safety, children running towards the ice cream van, or crossing the road to purchase and ice cream van. Does this not put children in danger? who will take responsiblility if they trip, i reckon not the ice cream man who will be more interested in selling ice creams to other kids And what about noise, this goes back to the jingles the ice cream van plays to warn everyone the "fat machine" is on its way, surely this is noise pollution at its worst? not to mention the kids shouting and screaming when they hear that the ice cream van is on its way Ban ice cream vans - they are a thing of the past? Encourage obesity, are racist and a danger Surely making children run after ice cream vans is encouraging a healthy active lifestyle? As for racist overtones, maybe they could change the jingle to "we dont need that fascist groove thang" by Heaven 17 for parity's sake? Our ice cream man used to wear a white hood and had a burning cross nailed to the back of the van, but he was extra generous with Cadbury's flakes, so it kind of balanced out.
