    1. This isn’t about your definition of a healthy lifestyle. This is a regulated term for food labeling (advertising) to consumers.

  1. Charlie P – I beg to differ, Jaron is right. You can label it however stringently you like, it won’t make a bit of difference unless you change the mindset and mentality of people to find being or getting healthy as both desirable and a lifestyle. We have a very serious crisis, far greater than Covid or cancer, and that is obesity. We have become fat and lazy and our bodies show it and so did the deaths through Covid relating to obesity. All of the government required labeling will not help until we change.

  2. Agree with Jaron…a “healthy” label is useless. More common sense such as not eating junk food, lots of sugar, empty calories etc. and exercising regularly is a much path to be healthy than some government-issued worthless label. Don’t be so gullible Charlie to think it is.
