France's ecology minister, Ségolène Royal, has blamed Nutella, the popular chocolate and hazelnut spread, for damaging the environment.In an interview on French television channel Canal+ on Monday, Royal condemned Nutella because it is made from palm oil, a vegetable product which has been criticized for its impact on the environment. LINK 4951

I can't stand the stuff. It's just cleverly marketed ICING for toast. Might as well eat a cupcake for breakfast. 4951

I finally got around to tasting Nutella.  It might as well be frosting.  It is VERY sweet.  It's like a spreadable candy bar. 4951

Nutella is the new "evil" in some European countries. It is causing obesity.Has nothing to do with the people buying it and eating the crap out of it I suppose.  4951

My daughter knew that I had wanted to taste it.  She found some small individual packets of Nutella (like the packets of ketchup, mayo, mustard) but a little bigger, and bought a few for me.  Once I tasted it, I tossed the rest. If I ate that stuff,  I might as well eat sugar with a spoon. 4951

First time I had it, I was in Europe on a business trip, it was like, what is this?Tasted it and man, was it sweet.I later learned, if you use a thin coat on a croissant, it was really good. But it was hard to get it that thin to give flavor and not over power the croissant. 4951

@Retired_Engineer: In Europe it came in those little plastic tubs, like jam at Denny's, with the peel off foil cover.

@notfromhere: Dietitians and nutritionists have established that 4 grams of white sugar (granulated) is equal to 1 teaspoon of sugar.

@notfromhere:  I don't hate Nutella.  As a diabetic, it's just not on the list of foods that I can/should eat.

@Retired_Engineer: Well, that is a pretty good reason. I don't eat it excesivelly. Just on a croissant or toast here and there. But only because I know it's not exactly healthy. I do love the taste.
