The Nutella Conspiracy
May 6th, 2008
Well, its not a conspiracy but it does get you thinking. Take a minute and think of the Nutella commercial. What you are left with is 3 ingredients that are good for you (somewhat). Hazelnuts (or filberts…lol), Coco Powder and Skim Milk. Sounds pretty good for you. The truth is that all of these ingredients only make up about 25 – 30 % of the product. The main ingredient in Nutella is SUGAR and the second is MODIFIED VEG/PALM OIL. That does not sound too healthy to me at all. Im not saying that I wont eat it anymore (PB & Nutella sandwiches kick ass) but it just got me pissed when I saw the commercial selling it as a wholesome food to feed your kids for breakfast that is nice and healthy. I think that a nice sugar cereal with milk in it is better than that. Ah well, just proves the point to read your food labels. Assume Nothing and Challenge Everything!!
