Pepsi's "SmartSpot"



While some of Pepsi's explanations are at least somewhat legitimate, a lot of them seem like Pepsi trying to make their junk seem healthy... like this:

Frito Lay® brand Nuts and Seeds

SmartSpot Explanation: "When choosing a snack FRITO LAY® brand nuts are a smart choice because 'scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.'"

Calories per serving: 280

Fat per serving: 24g

Could someone explain how 24 grams of fat can be justified as healthy?!
