The heart tick is full of shit!
It basically means it is either an improvement on the original or the best of a bad choice, which can still be bad!
It's an interesting/complex discussion to have. I can have the occasional drink and never have an issue, but others have consume it daily and/or in large quantities and will have health issues associated with that. Every cigarette does you damage but an alcoholic drink is different.
Food falls into the same kind of category as I can have fast food every 3-6 months others turn up daily for it and suffer the health consequences.
Where it becomes tricky outside of the politics and big money fast food and food company's have to prevent change is a calorie is not a calorie across the carbs, protein and fats (macros). As try a diet that has no carbs and your body goes into ketosis (which has its own health issues) and rips off the fat storage you have but can have a high calorie content.
But in saying that, I'm all for a calorie density tax.
