"healthy" snacks

The above is really an oxymoron, almost as funny as "reasonable" republican.  People generally don't associate the words healthy and snacks.  The boomer generation especially thinks of snacks as Twinkies, ring dings, etc.  with maybe a glass of milk to give the calories a fig leaf of nutrition.  That's why I had to laugh when Chiquita Brands latest riff is to emphasize healthy snacks in North America through its Fresh Express division.  A salad is great, as are carrot sticks, celery and any other fresh vegetables you care to name, but snacks they are not.
