When it comes to eating healthy, the definition is as extensive and different as shades of blue in a paint store. One person's definition of healthy is not another person's definition of healthy. A vegan will advocate eating no food from an animal while a vegetarian may eat eggs but not dairy or dairy but not eggs, or heck, they a may eat both. And then there are the carnivores who part take of flesh from animals.
But to add more dimensions into the definition of healthy, lets not forget ALL food is categorized in some way, shape or form. There is organic, fair-trade, GMO and non GMO, grass fed, grain fed, free-range, etc. And, how that food was made also is catergorized to the tenth degree so each person can choose, in their definition, what food they believe is healthy.
How in the world is one supposed to figure it out what "healthy" really is?
First, and foremost, I believe it starts with educating yourself on food. All food is not created equal and some food, as we ALL know, is better for you than other food.
Secondly, once you have educated yourself, convictions start to form.
And thirdly, once you have educated yourself and formed your convictions, you begin to implement your convictions, which involves even more learning and experimentation in the kitchen.
Is it worth it? You decide. I believe it is and if for nothing else, it keeps variety in the kitchen and color on the plate.
