Cramer's Healthy Stock Choices

Mad Money host Jim Cramer says investors should consider "healthy eating" as a long-term investment theme, and likes companies that provide consumers with healthy food alternatives.

Two-thirds of people in the U.S. are overweight and half of them are obese, Cramer said Thursday. To become more healthy, more and more people are eating the right foods, or at least foods are are a little better for them.

Healthy eating is a massive long-term theme that can deliver year-after-year, Cramer said. To play it, he recommends companies that can deliver high-quality food that's both delicious and healthy, like Whole Foods , Hain Celestial , Panera Bread and Chipotle . He thinks these four stocks could make terrific buys, but only on weakness. In other words, wait for a pullback before buying shares.
