So if there goal was to make a system that’s easy to use and understandable, I am failed to understand it; this after scanning research paper, website, etc.

For example, might be wrong, but appears they weight how nutritious item is for a single dietary goal, since to me sounds flawed; as in dietary goals and restrictions should first be picked/evaluated, then the items.

I have looked a few times at topic, spoken to nutritionist, etc - and as is, still find the topic unnecessarily confusing and clearly biased. Apps require massive amounts of personal information and restaurants & grocery stores to be feel like they’re designed to sell unhealthy foods.

Research Paper:

Confirmed whole-chicken-egg-cooked got a score of 52 and Lucky-Charms (American kids sugar cereal) got a 56; possible score is per food type, for example grain, protein, etc — but unclear.

Got the numbers from this document:

Sorry, but regardless of author’s intent, that makes no sense to me without explanation.
