Two mothers took Nutella makers to court because SHOCK! GASP! Nutella is not a health food. The mothers had blindly believed television commercials and so thought that Nutella was good to feed their kids. They were "shocked" to learn the chocolate spread was actually no different than a candy bar.
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". She claims she did it for all consumers, she didn't do it out of greed. HA.
Well, her greed could work out for you. If you bought any Nutella in the last few years, you can get a refund for it. The claim form is here, you can get a refund for up to five jars, no proof of purchase or other paperwork needed, just fill in the online form. You can get back up to 5 jars, $5 each, total of $25.

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.
