this implies you're giving weight to the first element then the second.

let's say you were optimizing something to be pretty A, delicious B, soft C.

you tune the system and evaluate the prettiness, deliciousness and softness.

you tuned it several times and got three products (A, B, C) of (1,2,3), (2,1,3), (3,2,1) - concrete values are correct evaluations. how exactly do you choose the best one, is prettiness more important?

reducing intake of calorically dense foods is a good step towards battling the rise of killer diseases since most of them are obviously caused by unhealthy lifestyle.

They are rich in mercury in my waters, so I don't want to consume them :D

Although eating animals that do not have a central nervous system is equivalent to eating plants, so it should be vegan.

According to [1] the conversion rate puts the required daily intake of 2 teaspoons of flaxseed oil per day to meet the EPA and DHA RDA.

GMO could easily solve the problem of omega-3 and B12. [2]

USA eats excessive amounts of sugar, fat and calories.

3500kcal per person per day 150kg of meat per person per year (compared to chinese of 60kg, or world average of 40kg).

overconsumption is the word. there was not a hint of criticism of meat being "unhealthy" -- it was mentioned in the frame of overconsumption.
