What is healthy?

100% organic, GMO free, farm-raised, etc. These are words you see on every food packaging and I’m extremely overwhelmed by them. Not because I don’t understand them, but because I find myself not touching a product that doesn’t have the most labels on the packaging. The media and other forms of information have taught me that “healthy” foods are ones with these types of labels. However, there are hundreds of companies that falsely place these labels in order to trick consumers, like me, into buying them. Another thing to keep in mind is the actual term “healthy” how much people value it. To me healthy includes diet, lifestyle, and activity level. If I’m not doing all three routinely then I’m not being “healthy”.
