When asked why they didn't just read the product label, she said "If I stopped to read every label, I'd probably spend four to five hours in the grocery store".
Herpa-derp, lady. If labels are such an issue, feed your kids real stuff. Seriously, it's not so hard to chop up a sweet potato and bake the strips (sweet potato fries, anyone?) or hand them a banana. Things like that taste really good and they're healthy, and no reading is involved. Heck, we eat sweet potatoes, snow peas, and so on for dinner all the time and my kid loves them. We love them.
Admittedly, I won't disagree that Nutella does have an unfortunate habit of sort of marketing itself as some sort of peanut butter alternative and sounding really healthy in the process. I bought into it years ago, thinking it would be a great non-peanut butter thing for me since I'm allergic to peanuts. Took one bite, thought, "Wow, this is really good..." and promptly checked the label. "OH. Thats's why it's so good." And no, I didn't consider being upset about it. Tastes good, nice for a treat once in awhile, not going to eat it every freaking day, life goes on.
