Exactly, 'healthy' choices are contextual. I know, because I lived it. "I need to eat healthier." Well, 'healthy' requires the context of what
isn't healthy about you now or what you're looking to address. I thought fruit was a healthy choice. Well, it turns out it isn't doing you any favours if you have a sweet tooth and are just eating mediocre high calorie, low-satiety crap the rest of the time; you're better off not eating it at all at that point, adding it was a net negative.
