If you were the head of government's health department, how would you nutritionally rate foods in a matter that isn't grain-heavy?

My proposed method: Use 30-30-40 to judge the foods macronutrients, and the more carb it has, the less points it get. Points will be added for micronutrients and fiber, and deducted for xenoestrogens and artificial sweeteners.

I would give points for providing rare nutrients that few other foods have and also for providing a wide range of nutrients in a single package even if they aren't all in extremely high amounts. Milk and leafy greens would be rated highly because of the wide range of nutrition. Liver would be near the top of all charts because it has both a wide range and high quantities of nearly every major nutrient. Gelatin would score well because it provides glycine which is rarely found in high quantities. Fruit would score well for providing a high ratio of fructose to other sugars and also for providing potassium and magnesium which are ideally included in every meal. Fruit has qualities that make it ideal for frequent consumption and little that hurts health in the long run even if singular types of fruit do not provide enough nutrients to live on.

Points would be deducted for providing omega-6 fatty acids or high amounts of polyunsaturated fat in general. Foods that have a tendency to grow volatile bacteria would not score well. Wheat is a possible candidate for bacteria overgrowth and even fungal nonsense such as candida. The much praised liver has to lose points for the potential iron overload that would occur if consumed everyday.

There needs to be many different charts with many different perspectives on what is to be praised and rejected. Ultimately a person designing a diet for themselves needs to add up nutrient quantities to see if daily recommended values are being reached. It's easy to miss out on something like biotin or vitamin K.
