A mother of a four-year old child has filed a class action lawsuit against delicious hazelnut spread Nutella. In her complaint, the mother says she was as 'shocked to learn' from her friends 'that Nutella was in fact not a 'healthy,' 'nutritious' food,' as advertised, 'but was instead the next best thing to a candy bar.'
In ads that for the spread that the suit calls 'misleading,' Nutella is said to be part of a 'tasty yet balanced breakfast.' The mother claims Nutella 'contains dangerous levels of saturated fat,' and 'over 55% processed sugar.' These ingredients, 'significantly contribute to America's alarming increase in childhood obesity' and can cause type-2 diabetes, heart disease, and other 'serious health problems,' the suit claims.
Or you could just figure that choco-spread isn't a salad and should only be used in moderation...
