Nougat. What's the deal?

Nougat is defined as: A confection made from a sugar or honey paste into which nuts are mixed. (thank you Google) Originating from Montélimar in southern France where it's more classily referred to as: Sweetmeat made from a mixture of gelatine or egg albumin with sugar and starch syrup, and the whole thoroughly aerated. But really, what's the deal?

It's got sugar, so if you're diabetic you're out, no nougat for you. If you're on a diet, again you're out because it's not only sugar but it's usually encased in some delicious chocolateness. Then honey, so if you're allergic to bees you can't have it either. I'm not even sure if that's true, actually I'm pretty sure it's not but in the today's world of making up news stories based on loose generalisations and unfounded facts I think I can be forgiven for fudging a few facts. Also the bar contains nuts, so if you're allergic to nuts guess what? No nougat for you. So it seems bars that decide to include this mixture are just trying to weed out the diabetics, dieters, bee and nut allergists (correct usage of the word? I don't know nor do i care). So I would just like to take this opportunity to sarcastically apologize for my not liking nougat. Sorry I'm not an elitist who likes to enjoy things only open to a select few of the population. The rest of you can keep eating your Babe Ruth and Three Musketeers bars cause all you're doing is supporting Hitler, and I for one do not support Hitler. Thank you and Good Day.
