I would say that Goldfish crackers are a HEALTHIER choice, but sorry, you can’t count them as a vegetable serving.
Are you on a diet plan of some sort? I’m doing First Place. I have personally come to love cheese because I consider it the “wild card” of the food groups. It can be a meat, or it can be a dairy. Just depends on which group I need to fill. Yep, I love me some cheese!
I’ll say Goldfish crackers are vegetables if you’ll agree with me that chocolate is not only a vegetable but also an amazing “health food.” Chocolate comes from cacao beans. A bean is a vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS. Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable.

See? With enough rationalization, we could make greasy hamburgers “healthy!”
I would say…uh…no.
As for the Sunny D….TOTALLY HEALTHY!
