More than just ice cream

My name is Adam Caplan, founder of Fat Adam’s Ice Cream.

The Gelato News section will be where we’ll share updates with you, including my thoughts and comments about ice cream and why we partnered with The Anti-Bullying Alliance as an associate member.

There’s been a few influences on the way and over the coming week’s I’d like to share some of these, if you’ll pardon my introspective view.

Ultimately, the business came about through a really quite crazy number of weeks of ups and downs and as a direct result of being the brunt of comments and attitudes towards me as a child as a result of being overweight.

It’s also interesting to see how adults react overweight people and how, despite the apparent ‘caring’ society we live in, fat people are ‘fair game’.

Bullying is still bullying. Ignorance is still ignorance and nay behaviour is still nasty behaviour.

I stand against all forms of discrimination and negative attitudes towards people of all race, religion, creed and body size.

When I was younger, ice cream was my go to ‘happy place’ when I was bullied.

Now, I want to share my ‘happy place’ with you all.

I named Fat Adam’s because I was taking back control of the narrative against the bullies, the ‘shamers’, the small minded ignoramuses that put people down to make them feel better.

Trolls, the lot of them.

Well watch out trolls!

Fat Adam’s and our extraordinary gelato are coming and we won’t stand for the abuse any more.

Sunday morning, batch making, saving optional!
