What’s healthy? FDA tackles notoriously difficult definition
The Food and Drug Administration has proposed a new system and set of guidelines for labeling food packages as “healthy,” sparking debate about what constitutes healthy food and questions around whether manufacturers and consumers will get behind the proposal.
Adrienne Bitar is an expert in the history and culture of American food and the author of “Diet and the Disease of Civilization” — the first full length study of diet books. Bitar says the FDA is taking on a difficult task in attempting to define and regulate the term “healthy.”
Bitar says:
“The term ‘healthy’ is notoriously difficult to define, much less regulate. Healthy is not a neutral one-size-fits-all concept, but a fraught term that has long been invoked to make moral judgments between good and bad, wholesome and corrupt, and healthy and unhealthy.
“Yet the FDA recently proposed to regulate the term ‘healthy’ by advocating for balance: to be labelled ‘healthy,’ foods will need to have some amount of its ingredients derived from one food group recommended by the dietary guidelines such as dairy or vegetables. Hopefully, this regulation will cut through marketing attempts to pass off fortified or ultra-processed foods as healthy.

White Castle Unveils a Bounce House (er, Castle) as Part of Its New Line of Branded Merchandise for Spring 2025
New merch collection also includes White Castle tin lunchbox, pickleball paddle set, playing cards, T-shirts and more.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — White Castle is helping customers take their legendary Crave to new heights with the launch of a brand-new line of merchandise. The crown jewel of the spring 2025 collection? An 8-foot-tall bouncy castle with a design inspired by, you guessed it, an actual White Castle! This inflatable fun house reinforces that White Castle isn’t just about satisfying Cravings — it’s about creating memorable moments, too.
White Castle is introducing a bounce castle as part of its new line of spring 2025 merchandise.
- A tin lunchbox. Retro meets modern with a never-before offered classic tin lunchbox. It’s perfect for Cravers of all ages, whether used for packing lunch, storing collectibles, or just showing off an affection for White Castle’s iconic Sliders.
- Pickleball paddle set. As the home of The Original Slider®, White Castle is well-suited to help with your slide action on the pickleball court. Pick up a pair of these paddles and slide away!
- Playing cards. No tricks here, just a simple deck of White Castle-branded playing cards.
- “Only Beef” T-shirt. Proclaiming “The only beef between us is this Slider,” this T-shirt is best bought in pairs.
- Knight-time craver T-shirt. “Dost thou even crave?” asks the knight who adorns this grey T-shirt holding a tray of Sliders.
- A “Follow Your Crave” horn. This long plastic blue horn, similar to a vuvuzela (think soccer stadium noisemaker), can be blown when the Craving hits — or at any time, for that matter.
- Pint glass. Raise this pint glass, painted with the White Castle logo, and toast to memorable moments.
- Bucket hat. Anyone wearing this soft, wide-brimmed bucket hat, adorned with the White Castle logo, will look super cool eating Sliders.
