ShareI’ve got a bizarre little story for you today.
Check this out…
After my workout yesterday I was perusing the headlines on HuffPost and this caught my eye…
“Serious House Fire Blamed on a Nutella Jar in London”
What?!
Turns out, the glass jar had been emptied (of course, how could it not be empty?!) and was sitting up on the window sill… and BOOM… the refracted sunlight through the glass caused the blinds to catch on fire.
Since no one was home, it caused serious damage.
Can you believe it?!
I feel really bad for these poor folks.
But actually, I was more shocked the sun was shining in London! 
KV why are you telling me about this randomness?
Well… it reminded me of the time Nutella was advertised on TV here in the States as a nutritious and “healthy breakfast” spread.
Huh? I don’t know about you… but my BS detector was going off big time! If you check the label, the first ingredient is sugar, and the second is palm oil.
Surely that’s a no brainer, right?
Yet it fooled one California mum who fed it to her 4 year old. And when she discovered the truth about Nutella… she took action and sued the company for the misleading ads… and WON!
Rock on girl!!
Yes, Nutella is definitely delicious. But c’mon, it’s NOT part of a healthy breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner for that matter.
2 tablespoons contains 200 calories, 21 grams of sugar, and 11 grams of fat.
And let’s be honest. If you have a sweet tooth (like me)…Who could ever stop after just one serving?!
It’s an excellent reminder to read the ingredients on every food label and do your due diligence. Or just skip the processed foods altogether.
Knowledge is power!
