As some of you know, Tom has a condition that does not allow him to eat protein. So, as the Whip is free of protein, we'll be dole-whipping it anyway. In fact, my parents bought a case of Dole Whip powder for the family (in order to give one bag to Tom-- you have to buy a whole case.)
Besides, Dole Whip is much better for you than ice cream. Take a small Dairy queen soft-serve cone, for instance. It has the same partially hydrogenated oil (but more of it.)
Calories: Dole Whip=80 DQ=230
Total fat: Dole Whip=0 DQ=7 grams
Saturated fat: Dole Whip=0 DQ=4.5 grams
Trans fat: in both the small Dairy Queen cone and a serving of Dole Whip is too small to list-- but in the large Dairy Queen cone, which is exactly twice the size of the small one-- it lists .5 grams of trans fat. So it follows that there is around .25 grams of trans fat in small Dairy Queen cone, and significantly less in the Dole Whip. That is why it isn't listed on the nutrition facts-- that one really IS the most up-to-date list.
I'd say take the pineappley goodness over the ice cream (or the corn dog) any day.
