Oatmeal + nutella = win

[Colt45]

it's all about the hazelnuts.

it's all about the hazelnuts.

exactly.

The key difference is the hazelnuts when comparing nutella and kit kat. Everything else is just chocolate. Chocolate is chocolate.

lolwhut, it's hazelnut butter as opposed to peanut butter, but with added goodness of cocoa.

I just went and looked this up:


Nutella:
ingredients: sugar, modified palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa, skim milk, reduced minerals whey (from milk), soy lecithin: an emulsifier, vanillin: an artificial flavor.

vi edit looks up the lie.
nutella has more sugar than hazelnuts. ingredients are listed in order of greatest amount to least. if hazelnuts is 3rd after even oil it means theres almost none in there.

that is completely the opposite of the impression they like to give that its healthy just like peanut butter, anything made of almost pure sugar is simply frosting, its chocolate frosting with a bit of nut filler. they've perpetrated an excellent lie, if it weren't for the hazelnut claim you would never spread so much frosting on your bread.

look up say peter pan peanut butter and its 90% peanuts.
nutellas done a good job of perpetrating the lie. i remember seeing a brit food tv show where they went around and showed most everyone believed nutella was indeed like peanut butter and so they let their kids spread it on extra thick. pretty bad stuff.

Look, I know this is a standard nerd forum thing that you're supposed to do (I can just hear you with your Professor Frink voice: Well according to my calculations the ratio of sugar to hazelnuts disqualifies this amalgamate as being presented as a true peanut butter), but the stuff tastes damn good, people like it, and they don't need to be convinced why they shouldn't like it.

yea yea, but this ones different from saying that cola is bad for you which is well known and thus just hectoring.

probably the vast majority of people DO have the impression that this stuff is healthy as peanut butter. that is the issue.

 

[vi edit]

I guess I never considered peanut butter as healthy in the first place. And I know nutella is far far worse.

*shrug*

Who cares, it tastes awesome.

Do they? I've always assumed it was near jam and preserves on the health scale. I figured that was the standard thought on it.

Natural peanut butter (no sugar added) is pretty decent in the right portions.

Almost everything is decent in the right portions to be fair.

\can't think of Nutella the same after Kobe...

i don't think most people consider peanut butter on the level of jam jam is clearly an empty sugar treat, peanuts however have been considered a good source of nutrients for a good long time.

not many parents feed their kids jam sandwiches, or frosting toast.

It's their own fault for being stupid enough to think that *chocolate* is good for you.

Uhhh... "peanut butter and jelly" sound vaguely familiar?

in the end PB&J is probably similar amount of fat and sugar as nutella, really. Maybe marginally better, probably not though.

nutella is spectacular

Ugh... we have a health and fitness area for a reason. Take this shit there

pb&j justifies itself. the peanuts are a good addition to the bread, the jam helps it go down.
whereas nutella is just jam
