English term or phrase: sustainable health food
Hola, no encuentro el sentido a la siguiente frase:
Hell, that's sustainable health food.
Lo que me confunde es el sustantivo health, si fuera el adjetivo healthy sí que le encontraría sentido. ¿Puede utilizarse también como adjetivo?

Esta es mi opció por el momento:
Dios, eso es comida sana y sostenible.

Este es el contexto, está hablando sobre un Kebab:
Slices from a giant, hot, free range lamb meatloaf with fresh salad, in a hot pitta. Hell, that's sustainable health food. If we can find a way to rescue and repackage it then the dodgy doner takes meat which could be wasted in the trimming of a prime cuts and turns it into the kind of thing your personal trainer would implore you to snack on. It doesn't get much better than this, I can feel a halo forming above my head as I think of it.

alimentos naturales y sostenibles


Explanation:
"Health food" is one step further than mere "healthy food":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_food

The author says that the kebab is sustainable, because it is made of free range lamb; and a health food because it has significant health benefits.

Obviously, in your text it should be in the singular form: "alimento natural/sano y sostenible".

comida para una salud sostenible


Explanation:
Pone "health" y no "healthy" porque habla de salud sostenible y no de comida sana. Por lo tanto, "health" sigue siendo un sustantivo también en español. Lo que quiere decir es que es una comida para llevar una vida saludable. Si quisiera hablar de comida sana diría "healthy food"
