What Does "Healthy" Mean in Popular Media?
Posted: Fri Jul 14, 2017 9:54 am
As corollary to my "moderation" post and previous discussions about TV shows, what do they mean by "healthy?"
When a TV host or magazine declare a dish to be "healthy" how did they determine that? What does "healthy" mean to them?
Obviously, no one is using the criteria taught here, but they must have something in mind. I remember Rachael Ray used to declare anything she made low carb as healthy because the obvious carbs were removed.
My guess is if a dish has two veggies, one green, one another color, no red meat, drowned in olive oil, it can be labelled healthy.
Anybody think they know?
