I agree what the article says.

For example, if you compare the nutrition of almond and peanut, they are pretty close:

Peanut: https://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/legumes-and-legume-prod... Almond: https://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/nut-and-seed-products/3...

They both have the same amount of total fat (49g). Other nutrients are mostly comparable too.

However, almond is often perceived as healthy food, while peanut is often perceived as not too healthy (peanut does have a little more saturated fat than almond--3.2g more per 100gram).

I think people should eat more seasonal, local, and fresh fruit and vegetables than whatever marketed as healthy food/drink that is actually heavily processed.
