Incorrect: Eat a healthy breakfast.
Correct: Eat a healthful breakfast.
Correct: You look healthy today.

I infer that we use 'healthy' for living things. Please correct me if I am wrong. However, in current usage, both are accepted.

Difference between tasty and tasteful:

The word "tasty" is generally used when one is talking about food. When you say that something is "tasty" what you mean is that it smells and tastes good; it is appetizing. Here are a few examples.

*The pizza is very tasty.
*The food that was served at the party was very tasty.

The word "tasteful", on the other hand, is not used in the context of food. . When you say that something is tasteful what you are implying is that it is very elegant or attractive. It is in good taste. This is a word that is normally used when referring to the manner in which something has been furnished or decorated. Here are a few examples.

*The hotel has been tastefully furnished.
*Though Mary spent a lot of money, she has a tastefully decorated home.

Thank eyunni, wonderful explanation!!!

Amar

E.

Niether X nor Y is correct.

Not X nor Y is correct.

Wow! Just read about the healthy and healthful stuff.

Well not x nor y still is still correct! Healthy in E is incorrect now!

What's the source of this question?

The idioms are neither...nor, and either...or. You can't mix them together - that's incorrect. B it is. Eyunni gave an excellent explanation for the secondary issue in the sentence - the difference and usage of "healthy" and "healthful", and "tasty" and "tasteful" - so I have nothing to add there!
