That's a pretty poor analogy. Writing grammar correctly is an objective measure, whereas food and musical taste is purely subjective.

McDonalds contains objectively less nutrition than better foods, as well as objectively more addictive and potentially harmful additives (sugar, etc.). Today's stamped-out low-effort all-sounds-the-same pop contains objectively less novelty or information than, say, Bowie or the Beatles.
