"Healthy Choice is all about making great food with healthy ingredients,” said Jonathan Gray, manager of research and development, ConAgra Foods. “We are not giving consumers 'diet food,' but rather delicious food — packed with protein, fiber, whole grains and antioxidants and free of any preservatives — that is intended to be a part of a healthy and balanced lifestyle."
