Could anyone help me? I saw the following sentence:

Jane's diet is healthier than John's.

In case I move John's diet to the position of subject, as below:

John's diet IS LESS HEALTHIER / IS LESS HEALTHY than Jane's

Which is correct?

less healthy

Welcome to the English Forums, xtreme!

In the original, you could substitute "more healthy" for "healthier," and the meaning would be unchanged.
