Does ‘Netaji’ not eat Ice-cream?


A report published in DARE says that India has a low per capita ice cream consumption of 300 ml per annum. According to the report the trend is slowly changing due to a number of reasons. I thought why shouldn’t I find out how often politicians in India eat ice-cream. Believe me, I found none.



We used Google search to get pictures of Indian politicians but every time Mr. Obama teased us with his choppy choppy images. We found Michelle Obama chumming with her son and daughter and flavoring Vanilla on the roadside. I should say Obama family tops the list of Ice-cream lover politicians.


Apart from Obama I saw Joe Biden bantered with his manager at Kopp's Frozen Custard. Mr. Bush was maintaining an aura of grace and poise at all times with an ice-cream in his hand. In one of such pictures Prime Minister of Italy Mr. Silvio Berlusconi looks like a creep with ice cream.


I didn’t stop here. I was worried about our country, India and more of politicians. I searched for few site exclusively running information regarding politicians eating ice-creams. It’s a matter of great surprise, I found few.


A site www.politicianseatingicecream.tumblr.com  is a dedicated site serving information on politicians who eat ice creams in public. www.huffingtonpost.com  serves 45 exclusive pictures of politicians with a ice-cream cone in their hands.


Though we couldn’t find any Indian Uncle at the end (maybe Obama eat all of it). But no worries, I stole few pictures for you, thought you would definitely like it.
