Italian Health Food

Please study this picture.
Whether or not you are fluent in Italian, you may recognize this as gelato.  Funny how quickly we become bi-lingual under certain circumstances.  Gelato looks like ice cream.  However, in fact, they are differente.  You see, the gelato does not have the crema of ice cream, and thus has less grasso (fat) and fewer calories.  Thus, I think one may argue it is a healthier food.  What is health food if not food that is healthier? 
I refer you to the middle of the top row, to what is obviously the cioccolato (pronounced somewhat like chock-oh-latto, rolling easily off the tongue.... just as the gelato rolls easily onto the tongue).  The problem is, once one has tasted the cioccolato, what conceivable reason would one have to try any other flavor?  It is a dilemma (trans. "dilemma" - see, you are bilingual).  However, the flavor to the right of the cioccolato consists both of cioccolato and other good ingredienti.  How is one to resiste?  For one who has tasted them both, but one word remains to be translated.
Delizioso! 
Ciao.
