In a historic move, The United States has for the first time in 30 years taken a big step towards redefining what constitutes "healthy" foods, removing items like white bread from the list, and adding nutritious options like eggs and salmon. The move has come amid concerns of a deluge of chronic lifestyle diseases, threatening to affect people's longevity and quality of life in the coming years.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it is introducing a new symbol to help manufacturers quickly convey to consumers that a food meets the "healthy" criteria.
