[ 01 — OUR POINT OF VIEW ]
“Healthy” is too vague.
Better is personal.
A useful snack guide should give you facts and context—not a halo, a blacklist, or a lecture. We look at what a snack is made of, what it contributes, and how it fits real life.
That means no paid rankings, no single-macro obsession, and no pretending every person needs the same thing. Our job is to help you ask sharper questions.
