Five for Friday 128

Happy Friday!

This weekend’s links explore the concept of the “ideal” in different areas of our lives: social, health, technology, and food – what discussion of ideal meals doesn’t include dessert?

Is a home with a yard still the American “ideal”?

The Tyranny of the Ideal Woman. It is interesting to witness the evolution, or devolution, of what society considers the “ideal woman”. Never ending and always just out of reach, the Guardian looks at her history.

Is Keto the ideal diet? Additionally, Outside clears up the nonsense around “ideal” wellness trends.

Science implies there is an ideal way to listen to music. No, it’s not on headphones, though they do seem to be the way of the future. Sadly, those will also need to be updated, because the headphone jack is apparently dead.

Finally, Pioneer Woman‘s favorite summer desserts, and is dairy ice cream still ice cream without the cow?

Have a wonderful weekend!
