America’s age-old love affair with ice cream appears to be winding down.

Consumption of regular dairy ice cream, which does not include frozen yogurt, sherbet or non- and low-fat ice creams, has been falling for years, according to the US Department of Agriculture.

    In 1986, the average American ate 18 pounds of regular ice cream, according to the USDA. By 2021, the most recent year of the data, that was down a third to just 12 pounds per person.

    12 pounds per person still feels like a lot.

      I agree. I don’t eat anywhere near that so one of you must have increased your consumption by a third to pretty close to 24 pounds.

      I also think it’s weird that they are measuring in mass when it is almost always sold by volume.

      Per what time period? Life time?

        Per year if I’m reading the article correctly.
