'Healthy' food label on food packages

I really don't pay much attention to whether something is FDA approved or not. I've just kinda have learned what works best for me and being informed on the pro/cons. I find I crave fruits and veggies more than ever. I'm sure there must be some connection with the diabetes. But I try not to be too set in my ways to rule out certain foods that I might think aren't healthy. It would be interesting to see the FDA's list of healthy foods but they're still not the determining factor for me.

I always check for ingredients used in the making of the food items.

I'm doing great, thanks for asking! It's crazy how many of us struggle to eat enough veggies, fruit, and dairy while sneaking in too much sugar and fat. I learned the hard way about the importance of reading food labels. "Healthy" labels can be deceiving sometimes. Now, I'm focusing on whole foods and balancing my diet better. I've started buying healthy broths at https://healofoods.com/products/single-jar-lamb-bone-broth and see that it helps me to feel better. If you have any other hacks, you're welcome to share!

    Buying decisions:  An FDA-approved healthy label might influence me to try a new product, but it wouldn't necessarily sway me away from something I already know and love that might not qualify as "healthy" under the new system.  For example, I love a certain brand of peanut butter that's delicious and has protein and healthy fats, but it might not qualify as "healthy" because it has some added sugar.  I'd probably still buy it.

Great question. More and more I am losing faith in "the system" that includes the FDA. If they can take a fruit a simple tomato and put it into ketchup packets and call it a vegetable? I do not trust them to make food choices for me. I'm one of those annoying label readers. My husband and I started eating "healthy " when we semi retired about a year ago. So far I like it and dislike it . It's a pain to shop and keep fresh produce. Food preparation and cooking and cleaning up after. I do miss crap food and indulged in a Big Mac the other day. I absolutely hated it. So I'm increasingly finding I dislike the stuff I used to eat and it makes me feel to.

So to answer your question. The FDA has no bearing on my food choices.

I also have been food poisoned at high-end restaurants 2 time in the last year. I had never in my life been food poisoned. I think additives are being added and the more health I eat the more sensitive I become.

Healthy food labels on stuff I get are easy to read and understand
