Why no food is healthy

[DeusXM]

Well worth a read - most of it is fairly obvious when you think about it, but it's good that someone is publicly calling out food manufacturers on the utter nonsense of describing any food as 'healthy'.

Well reasoned article.
There is no such thing as a healthy or unhealthy food (excluding food poisoning items, of course!). There is only a healthy or unhealthy diet (combination of foods over a period of days / weeks / months).
Plus there are other considerations when deciding which foods to eat / avoid. Eg almond milk sounds good from a health point of view, but the effect of growing a water hungry crop in dry California is not good from an environmental point of view.

Why aren't there any super-duper foods?

That would be sausage and mash, surely? 🙂

Reminds me of the old saying, that if you avoid all food that's supposed to be bad for you, you will die of starvation.

There are a lot of linguistic errors like that described in this article; another is overuse of the word "suspicious". If you see something which you believe could be a bomb, you are suspicious; it is suspect.

And let's not forget the old favourite, the diabetic nurse, or diabetic chocolate etc. 😱 🙂

Remember, only the latter is a laxative.
