The Duolingo Latin course uses sanus as "healthy" in connection with meals.
A healthy lunch would be prandium sanum according to the course.
But I always thought that sanus is only refers to the health of a person or some such entity.
I can see how a lunch can help me come sanus but not how it could be sanus itself.
The Duolingo course appears to be mistaken or at least somewhat unnatural.
At the very least sanus appears to mean more "in a healthy state" than "health-inducing".
But is the second meaning — the only one used by Duolingo — correct too?

I think the first problem here is that there are far more references to gourmandising in the classical sources than to the effects of food on health. Think, for example, of Horace Sat. II, iv passim, and the alleged habit of the Emperor Vitellius of self-induced vomiting to make room for more!
More simply, though they possibly had what we commonly call 'food fads', they don't seem to have cared about much beyond an actual pleasure in food. I can't be sure, of course, but I suspect that vegetarian, and more certainly vegan diets were seldom chosen deliberately.
My reaction was to consult the article on cibus in the Gradus ad Parnassum [1]. None of the actual epithets noted (but none with a source given) — sapidus, dulcis, gratus, laetus, regius, solennis, opimus, utilis, parcus, vilis, mendicatus — particularly suggests healthy eating. The quoted phrases, corpora sustentans, instaurans vires, animique vigorem etc. give no help.
Perhaps the case is that the ancients just weren't 'into' dietary terms, such as 'healthy eating' in a fashion compatible with our modern ideas. On the other hand, if there isn't an exact epithet to match the 'healthy' that we apply to food, I see no reason not to use cibus sanus metonymically if the context is clear.
[1] The Gradus was published in 1813, but it is still considered authoritative, not necessarily as comprehensive as a modern compilation would be.

Just based on the meaning of the word, salutaris might be a better choice. I'm not sure if it was ever used that way but it seems to make more sense.
