Default Why, suddenly, has healthy, good-for-your-body food become known as "diet food"?

Has anyone else noticed?

I can't order a salad with fat-free dressing without my friends sitting there, trying to tell me I shouldn't be dieting. Maybe I don't want to order the hamburger with french fries that isn't good for my body, has probably 1000+ calories, and has almost no nutritional value.

The organic food aisles in grocery stores are almost always empty, while you are in TRAFFIC-like situations in the bulk food section.

The only healthy meal items are always named "fat free", "low calorie", and "low carb."

Are there any other things you've noticed?

All food is diet food, it just depends on whether it's a healthy diet or not. There's such a thing as a "junk food diet", as well. Be careful of low calorie items, they are not always the healthiest choices. You should be looking for foods with the fewest "ingredients", then they will be closer to what your body can process efficiently.
