Kellyanne Conway Suggests Ice Cream Can Help Avoid Drug Addiction
- 6 years ago
Kellyanne Conway on Thursday seemed to suggest that ice cream can help avoid drug addiction.
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Thursday advised a group of students to eat ice cream instead of buying street drugs. She made that comment at the White House 'Generation Next' forum. Conway warned of the dangers the synthetic drug fentanyl brings, commenting, "…most of America suffers from information underload when it comes to the horrors and dangers and really the toxicity and lethality of fentanyl."
"On our college campuses, you folks are reading the labels, they won't put any sugar in their body, they won't eat carbs anymore, and they're very, very fastidious about what goes into their body," she further noted. "And then you buy a street drug for $5 or $10, it's laced with fentanyl and that's it." Conway added, "So my short advice is, eat the ice cream, have the french fry, don't buy the street drug." Twitter wasn't entirely receptive to Conway's tip for staying opioid-free. One Twitter user wrote, "it's Thursday in the desolate Rust Belt, you know what that means: it's time to eat a single french fry and avoid opiate addiction," while another commented, "Ah yes, the common teen dilemma: buy dangerous street drugs or eat one french fry?"
