You can get whole wheat English muffins. And I'm sure if you were to make
them at home, you could vary the flour being used. I even found a recipe to
make them dairy free although it called for soy milk which I don't think is
so healthy.

I wouldn't say that they are the healthiest option for food choices but
certainly better in terms of nutrition than say...cotton candy.

You can make them better though. Serve half an English muffin with plenty
of vegetables, perhaps some egg, cheese, meat, whatever. It's all about
balance.
