Many foods market themselves as healthy. The current FDA requirements for "healthy" means a food is low in fats and has vitamins. In other words, according to the FDA Pop-Tarts are healthy, while many granola bars (which include fats from peanuts) are not.
Kind, a granola bar producer appealed this (successfully) to the FDA and now van label their bars as healthy. However this has prompted the FDA to start a review process.
So read the ingredients of your foods; and try and avoid high fructose sugars, corn syrup, and processed foods in general!
