This is the first ice-cream maker machine I've ever purchased.  I honestly don't know why I waited so long to get one, since I've grown quite fond of ice-cream.  I guess in the back of my head I always figured that ice-cream was not good for you.  Well, I've made some changes to what I was taught growing up.  I figured life is short, work hard and enjoy the things in life that you like as long as you don't have too much of it.
