In principal, I disagree conflating two different types of advice/goals like you are in your original comment (1. a statement about what is/is not healthy to eat, 2. what or what not is ecologically sound, made clear in your second comment to which I'm now replying) without making it clear that you are making that leap. The two goals may prescribe some contradictory action.
For example, lets pretend for a moment that the worst sort of ecologically disastrous forms of industrial farming happened to produce the most healthy and nutritious food; it's conceivable GMO could well spark that debate not unlike that. Do you make a single statement saying to eat good organic food to stay healthy without also making the statement you're compromising the health portion in balance with ecological concerns?
I think making a simple health statement without also being fully clear about also making an environment statement also erodes trust if found out.
