LOL, I didn't even see that. It wasn't there when I first started to post. Anyway, you guys are just in denial
Seriously though, that stuff was the introduction into my first foray into fatness. Growing up in Europe, they used to feed it to me on bread during the Summer time in almost unlimited quantities. Gained like 30 pounds in a summer.

That's just a sockpuppet account. No one could dislike Ferrero Nutella (TM), the light breakfast spread with the best of milk, hazelnuts and cocoa.2 -
Nutella makes a great addition to deserts. It's especially good when combined with PB. And maybe some bacon...

I really dislike the taste of hazelnuts, so obviously I think Nutella is disgusting.1 -

I don't think their business model is telling people sugar is OK. It's making ice cream, which has a nice combination of sugar and fat.
ETA: I like peanut butter, but only with something. I find it too dry to eat by itself. The Hubster, however, vehemently disagrees with me.2 -

So Ben and Jerry didn't get rich selling sugar. Learn something new every day. I guess everybody is buying iced cream for the protein content and just like they were reading playboy for the articles!6 -

I'm not understanding what you are saying here. Is it that a company made a product, sold that product, and profited from it? And that product happened to have, as one of its ingredients, sugar? Or is there something more sinister you are alluding to?2 -

Half the calories in B&J are from fat.5 -

Definitely buying it for the sugar+fat+protein combo. The lack of fat is why fruit sorbet is such a sad, miserable imposter of a dessert.5 -

You take that back! Sorbet has a time and a place, such as in the middle of summer so I can also have ice cream later.1 -

Oh, I thought they were making money telling people sugar was ok. You are concerned that people are buying their product? That's not solid sugar? And this is a conspiracy?
30 years ago fat was vilified, and now everyone is up in arms because there is such a huge mentality about fat being included in a healthy diet (a food high in fat cannot include the word "healthy" on the label according to the FDA). But it seems like those same people have no problem slapping the same label on sugar.
Perhaps everyone should just focus on getting the majority of their foods from whole, nutritious foods while setting aside a small portion of their calories for treats that they choose to enjoy but may not fall into that category.1 -

Is it chocolate sorbet? That stuff's ok. I'd rather eat celery than raspberry or lemon sorbet, and I hate celery so much I pick it out of soup. I appreciate the strategy, but that's what froyo's for!0
