A conversation with Charles Platkin at 12:30 p.m. on The Wisdom of 90 Years: Dr. Marion Nestle on Food and Living Your Best Life. Registration is here.

I’ve just heard that organic candy is the new hot food. According to reports from Europe, “healthy” candy–another oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one–are the growth drivers for the candy industry. Candy is candy. If candy is organic or is laced with vitamins or substances that promote health, at least under laboratory conditions, it still has sugary calories. But is it better for you? Opinions, please.
