In 2015, the FDA told snack bar brand Kind it couldn't use the word "healthy" on its labels, pointing, for one, to the bars' high fat content. Kind fought back, citing that nuts (which are high in fat but universally regarded as nutritious) are the reason for the elevated fat, and many criticized the FDA's outdated guidelines for what it deems "healthy." In a bold move, Kind has filed a petition over how the FDA regulates claims on food labels. Read more here.
