From the Department of Duh, Nutella =/= Healthy

i personally love the taste of Nutella maybe cause im italian. but thats beside the point

nutella is very delicious.

but is it healthy? nah just sinful delicious

Krispy Kremes is healthy, though, roight?

If it's stuffed with nutella, definitely. :glasses:

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

If someone else bought them and brought one to you for you to eat WHILE you're standing up, it's actually negative calories! :bigsmile:

Nutella is just satan incarnate!! I can NEVER buy that stuff again - sinfully delish.

It's a good thing I still have my marshmallow fluff as back up...I can enjoy fluffernutters anytime I want because everyone knows marshmallow fluff is made from air and air has no calories...

I've never had nutella and saw it being advertised as healthly. So, I thought it might be something to buy to spread on whole wheat toast for the kids. I checked out the nutritional value on it at the store and was surprised to see that it was loaded with sugar and didn't have any nutritional value, so I didn't buy it. I assumed it was high in protein and low in sugar by how it was being advertised.

I'm glad I've never tried it now based on how great everyone says it tastes! I already have enough of an issue with peanut butter,

I've noticed it in the commercials, they say it's part of a child's healthy diet and it really does imply that it's made up of hazelnuts and a hint of cocoa.

What they leave out is that the main ingredient is sugar followed by Palm Oil and then Hazelnuts.

you mean I shouldn't do this?

All you like. You can stand there all day holding the jar like that, and your arms will get a good workout.

You do know the consistency of Nutella, right?

But if you microwave it for a few seconds..................... Um Not that I'd do something like that you understand.

My favorite frozen yogurt shop has hot nutella you can drizzle on your yogurt. It's the only way I can have it, if I buy a jar it screams at me from the cupboard until I eat it just to get some peace and quiet.

They're just now making commercials for a food item that has been in the states for the last 15+ years? And they're just NOW realizing that it isn't healthy?

Too funny:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I don't think anyone thinks nutella is healthy. It's just effing good!

Well the lady that sued did, and convinced a jury to agree with her.

Uh, no. It's a proposed settlement, so it hasn't gone to a jury. Hopefully, they would have said, PUHLEEEEEZE.

I read this today and was floored by the idiocy of this woman. Some people just shouldn't breed. Having said that, I'm NOT going to claim my $20. I refuse to gouge the Ferrero company for this woman's foolishness. I bought the stuff myself, nobody put a gun to my head, and I read the label, went, "Wow," and bought it anyway. I'm no victim here.

Now I think I'll go have a spoonful of Nutella just to show my support for Ferrero.

Ditto! I know it's not the healthiest thing in the world, but I love my nutella. ANYTHING can be part of a balanced breakfast, lunch, or supper, people... that doesn't mean we should let our kids gorge themselves on any one thing. Even something like healthy CARROTS can be bad if it's the only thing you eat. Maybe I should sue the carrot farmers... for turning my kid into an orange space alien-looking creature because all she eats is carrots... at least she has really good eyesight though.

*edit. I'll definitely not be claiming my 20 bucks either, and I loathe that hooker for making my already expensive Nutella cost even more now. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Yet another "only in America" story.... we always get the impression that you guys will make a law suit about anything and these stories just reinforce that view!

Nutella has been in Australia for as long as I remember - I first had it as a kid (about 35 years ago) and loved it, but I never thought that it was healthy - it seems a bit scary that an adult person would be sucked in that way.

She wasn't! She was just a money hungry hooker who took advantage of someone! All these lawsuits are a giant pitfall in this country, IMO. Frivolous lawsuits piss me off. (and they should piss off all of America as consumers--since we pay for this crap in the long run!)

i know moms who slather that stuff on break and say its just as healthy as a PB&J and give it to their kids... grosses me out and really i look at them while they try to tell me how great it is and think... chocolate spread on bread... eww no thanks.

omgosh i had one person who i thought was fairly smart (until this conversation) tell me it was chocolaty protein, i told her i couldn't eat peanut butter and was looking for almond butter (its my go to for a PB&J) but the store was out and she said o just use Nutella its just as healthy and it tastes good... it was a sad day ..i just shook my head and told i don't like chocolate, really didn't want to argue with her about it plus i really don't care for it
