    Anyone who thought this is healthy falls under the dee dee dee category. It is however delicious. Just can't disillusion ones self.

    Good. Grief.

    Nutella has long since been available in the UK and we'd spread it on toast, but never did we believe it was a health food. I don't know why it's taken off so quickly here in the US. Probably the same reason Krispy Kremes have recently taken the UK by storm. It's something different. Still can't believe people don't read the damn labels.

    They do have a commerical out saying its a healthy breakfast BUT then so do all the sugar loaded cereals out there. Some people just listen to those and think they are being told the truth. Maybe in the long run this lawsuit will stop companies from promoting that their food is " part of a balanced breakfast"

    While I am certainly capable of reading the label and learning of Nutella's characteristics, I did have a bit of a problem with the TV commercial. It certainly does give an impression that giving your kids Nutella on breakfast foods (toast, waffles) is a healthy idea. That is fairly misleading. Worthy of a lawsuit? Nah....but still kind of shady.

    You can close your eyes and eat them. That makes them 0 calories, right?

    you've gone this long without Krispy Kremes? :noway: :noway: :noway:

    lol

    Nutella is good, and it's not a bad food in moderation if it's something someone likes.

    I read about that earlier. Now all I can think about is getting home to make love to my Nutella.

    Sure, the commercials are misleading but how hard is it to read a label?? It's like the woman who sued because the coffee cup didn't say it was hot. I am fully convinced that the human race is doomed to stupidity.

    Nutella is awesome :)

    And if someone's pride is low enough that they are willing to put their name on an obesity suit like the one against McDonald's... Well they deserve their few $$ and their 15 minutes of glory.

    Dance, monkey, dance!
