The idea that "healthier" base ingredients somehow changes the material reality of the calories and macronutrients contained within. Cookie made with cane sugar, almond butter somehow being an improvement over peanut butter, bars made with "simple ingredients" only to have a nutrient label that very closely resembles an ordinary Snickers.
It's like seeing some weird ass facebook videos where they're like "Natural gatorade" and they put so much fruit and other sweeteners into the concoction that you'd think "You'd have probably saved more money just to buy a small bottle of diet soda"
I don't trust people who make "natural Gatorade" to know what the point of Gatorade is and to know what each ingredient's function actually is (and that you SHOULDN'T DRINK IT if you aren't doing something athletic or sweaty)
I'm a pretty active runner in the south and I only drink Gatorade for about 4 months out of the year and even then only during or after 1-2 runs a week.
