Nutella's statement: "Nutella made by Ferrero, an Italian multinational, in the world's second-largest chocolate and confectionery manufacturer which has a main office in the greater Tel Aviv area in Israel. Ferrero has entered into a joint development agreement with the Israeli sugar company Sugar Incredo to innovate solutions based on Incredo techology that belongs to the Israeli-based startup Douxmatok. Indredo's technology aims to make sugar taste sweeter, and it is working with Ferrero to launch future products. It should be note that Ferrero does not invest directly in Encredo, but through an investment channel, Teseo Capital."

On top of boycotting (because FU Nutella), I also wanted to share alternatives with folks because Nutella hasn't been fully transparent about their ingredients ratio. I know a lot of companies do this, especially one's that are popular in the US that often go under the radar because of a lack of FDA regulations, but the more you know.

Since I know many of us have comfort foods -this is NOT a food shaming post -this is just a hey in case you didn't know and also if a company wants to do business in and with Israeli settlers and colonizers -they also have blood on their hands and well, here it is:

Here are also some alternatives (there is only one that is budget friendly on this list -I will try to find some more! Any other recommendations, please let me know!). These are just for the folks who want to try something else chocolate-based to replace their Nutella. I can personally attest to Nutiva's spread -you have to spread it quite a bit before you use it to mix it, but one it's done it's lovely and it doesn't need much stirring because it can stay room temperature.

There are also a ton of other alternatives, generally speaking, for spreads on your breads (I found this one cool because it gives you a base ingredient with multiple topping options [and eat what you want -these are just some inspirational ideas for toppings for toast/bread spreads):

reminder that fighting for climate solutions means fighting for public health.

switching to clean energy means less air pollution and significantly less deaths associated with fossil fuel extraction

green, localized, and walkable neighborhoods with accessible transport is good for physical, mental, social, and emotional health

cutting down the beef and dairy industries and eating more plant based (for those who can) is better for health of individuals

fighting for unionized labor in good, clean jobs means less stress in people's daily lives which leads to less stress-related illness and injury

Fight for your neighbors, fight for the planet

"Vegans have clearly never been to a farm because the animals are taken care of and all their needs are met! They don't know what they're talking about!"

I don't care!

Veganism is a completely different way of viewing animals. It's not about "let's treat them nicely."

Veganism is the belief that humans should not use the bodies of animals when they don't need to do so to survive.

Veganism means that because an animal can suffer and enjoy things, they deserve autonomy. Using that animal's body for your own gain, even if you try to do so in a way that's sensitive to their happiness and health, is exploitation.

Veganism acknowledges that not every aspect is accessible to every person in the very definition of the word: not partaking in the use of animals as much as possible. It's not erasing the need for systemic change, it's just people trying to live out their ethics consistently to the best of their ability.

You don't have to tell me about how nice the animals are treated. That's usually not true anyway but even when it is, I simply do not care.

If your idea of animal rights does not include the idea that animals should have autonomy then I'm not expecting this post to convince you, but if you talk about how nicely animals are treated or about how veganism isn't accessible to everyone, you're not "owning the vegans," you're just proving that you have no idea what veganism actually is.
