Perhaps we shouldn't call foods 'healthy' since almost processed food has some level of chemicals that are not good for you?

Z, its all marketing, we all know that the only food that is healthy-ish is grown food, but even veggies in today's world are not as healthy as we'd like them to be, with all the growth hormones, and pesticides being used.
I'm not even saying that "low cost" is false advertising, no, it would not be allowed on the label, and if "low cost" gets someone to buy the stuff, whatever, marketing is marketing.
My problem pertains to the term green, on a corporate level, when used in descriptions of households, companies, buildings, more-so then talking about advertising on the packages. You can sell beef and advertise it as helping sad cows by youthanasing them, whatever your sales pitch is, i dont care, i wont buy your product, but i dont care. My problem lies with the wrong use, and more and more so, it is, of the term "green", especially when the subject doing so has not actually done anything to convert to being more or less green (using the term quantitatively, oh brother...) My biggest peeve is when a company goes out to one of these carbon credit sites, and buys say 15,000 worth of carbon credits to become carbon neutral, and then slap a green sticker on their company brochure, like "we're green now", i'm sick of that bullshit... It's a different story, when a company puts a green roof on their building, props up some next generation solar film panels, changes their work day to 4 days, puts in a ground return system to either cool or heat up the building... etc...
