Healthy? Does no artifical colour & a little less sodium really make them healthy? It is just marketing. The only "Junk" it doesn't have compared to Cheetos (corn meal) is artificial yellow food colour. Peatos (pea & lentil flour) are coloured with natural ingredients. Still 200mg of Sodium per ounce and still highly processed. Unless the snack basket has fresh fruit, the processed options are all varying degrees of Junk. Even Kind bars have processed sugars to "stick" the contents together.

I am not adverse to junk food. Hawkins Cheezies, a Canadian snack product, will always blow Cheetos or PeaTos out of the water but let's not call any of it what it isn't; healthy!
