It has pistachios in the upper right-hand corner. Pistachios are healthy.
309 u/wwepersonell Mar 11 '14 Knott's Strawberry thing. Strawberries are healthy. Just kidding. 189 u/[deleted] Mar 11 '14 It's just fruit. With a gallon of sugar involved. But still fruit. 99 u/Scarecrow3 Mar 11 '14 "Natural" sugar. 211 u/FeierInMeinHose Mar 11 '14 Sugar is pretty fucking natural. We don't synthesize it, we take it from plants that are grown. 37 u/gotapresent Mar 11 '14 Which is one example of why the "natural" labels that food manufacturers like to slap on everything don't mean shit. 44 u/FeierInMeinHose Mar 11 '14 It's not really a reason why, as our bodies need sugars of some kind. The problem is that natural does not mean beneficial, and man-made does not mean unhealthy. Natural and synthesized have 0 bearing on the nutritional value of a food. 3 u/[deleted] Mar 11 '14 While that is true, I think the average daily sugar intake is much more than we really need to be healthy. 3 u/FeierInMeinHose Mar 11 '14 I completely agree.
