After reading up on it, there's nothing about this that builds confidence that it's anything more an indicator of wellbeing than the "MyPlate" USDA guidelines are for dietary requirements.

That's insulting. Please read more: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/001100001663350...

And this is evidence somehow, other than being another research paper in a sea of many? I'm sure there's none of those at the FDA. I mean, the abstract ends with:

"Results suggest that there is considerable disagreement regarding how to properly understand and measure well-being."

The existence of research does not make something definitive, but I'm always happy to be proven wrong.

Even basic physical phenomena aren't definitive. That's not how science works. We shouldn't expect a singular metric of wellbeing to rely on for all time. Existing wellbeing measures and models are useful enough to inform practical decision-making and design. What we admittedly lack are measures sensitive enough to indicate when small design improvements are successful. More research needed.

>we’d have three Big Macs for breakfast washed down with a shot of whiskey and a couple lines of cocaine But that's a normal breakfast? Maybe it's more like eating only rabbits: rabbits for breakfast, rabbits for lunch, rabbits for dinner until you starve

I dont't understand the analogy with rabbits, what with the staving and all.

Rabbits are plentiful and easy to catch, but they are not nutritionally complete. If you eat only rabbits, you'll go crazy and die

>If there are enough rabbits, the people eat till their stomachs are distended; but no matter how much they eat they feel unsatisfied.
