Flavor does not matter, presentation does not matter but the food shouldn't make you sick, and should ideally have enough calories per day for the average person to survive (2000 kcal min).

Edit: I am not in any danger of starving or malnutrition, nor am I insolvent. I'm mainly asking this question out of curiosity on how people would approach a solution :)

I think your list looks solid! The only questions I have are about listing coffee and tea on the avoid list? There are some studies that show that coffee at least helps with longevity. Tea is not as conclusive as far as I’m seeing, but if the caffeine is part of what’s beneficial from coffee then it would make sense that tea also brings health benefits.

On another note, frozen vegetables can sometimes be better for you than fresh veggies since they are frozen immediately and stay more nutritious for longer because of it. You’re spot on about local and in-season vegetables being some of your best bet, especially if you care about other things like the climate.

Thanks! I dont know much about coffee and tea, perhaps they are purely beneficial. I figured they'd be a mixed bag so if you are being "optimal" you'd avoid them.

I appreciate the links and info
