Who started the lie?!

I know it is sad but I only just found out about Nutella about two years ago... don't feel sorry for me... it's ok :) I have made up for the lost time.

Well, for some reason I thought it was healthy for you. Why I thought this you may ask, no idea. It was an automatic assumption without really considering the idea. A little while later I heard someone say how fattening Nutella was and at first I was surprised. My outward expression said, "Well, of course. Obviously chocolate (I know it's hazelnut but I consider it chocolate) in any form is not exactly a diet food." I didn't want them to think I was stupid. But my inward thoughts were, "WHAT?! For realsies?!" Aw man! Makes sense... i sure feel silly."

Since this moment of finding out Nutella was fattening I have heard of several other people (all girls... lets be honest, only us girls would choose to believe chocolate has the potential of being heathy/non-fattening... sorry to stereotype.) who were surprised to find out Nutella was fattening because they were under the impression that it was not. One friend was even eating out of the jar with a spoon when her dreams shattered as her sister told her the truth of the delicious treat. (Confession: I still do that! The facts will not stop me)

SO! I am convinced that somewhere, somehow SOMEONE started a subliminal message that Nutella was healthy! So I want to know! Who started the lie?! Because you got A LOT of people! Props to you, haha!
