nutritious junk

Health and fitness magazines sometimes really baffle me. As i was skiming through a number of them i realized that they often contradict each other.  Women's Health has a "Eat this" "Not That" segment where they compare a food with their nutritionally sound counterpart. but the weird thing is, Self magzine boasts the counterpart to be part of their "SELF diet" plan.  For instance, Women's Health was saying forgo popcorn and get an ounce of baked chips, while Self magazine gave 2 cups of popcorn as part of thier "snack" ideas.
