Who decides what is healthy or what is unhealthy food?

[patliputra]

Can food be individualised or generalised as good or bad?

The same food can be healthy for one while it can be unhealthy for another.

Hi patliputra ,

Yes, this is interesting - and clearly paying attention to the individual differences between people is surely the way to go. I saw an interesting article about this, and am putting a link here, incase anyone else wishes to read it, it is entitled: 'Why a Healthy Food for One Person May be Unhealthy to Another":

Genetics, environment, health issues, etc, will all affect what is good or bad for us as individuals. Some things are sold as food have no nutritional health benefits whatsoever, & just provide calories for energy.

Something to remember is that what may be considered as healthy for one person isnt healthy for all. check out this web for 6 ways to check if your food is 'healthy' or not bustle.com/articles/143671-...
