Except for e.g. the small print in an EULA, or the XXXX pages Congress spending bills. There is definitely a bureaucratic technique of 'obfuscate through sheer volume of irrelevant information'.
On top of my head:
* basic breakdown: grains, meat, veggies
* processed vs. unprocessed
* grocery sourced vs. eating out, largely fast food
* sourcing, binned by log distance travelled
* scenarios: Med diet? carnivore? vegetarian?
On reflection, the core objection is that there is a subjective hidden parameter: the relative weights of different components. See e.g. https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/cpi/calculation.htm#item-replac... I'd rather use my own weights.
Yes [1][2].
