Part of the problem is the line between candy and... some other category of food. What constitutes a treat versus some normal and healthy variety in your diet? Food is about more than just nutrition. We already know we can get the nutrition and calories we need in more sustainable and efficient ways. But we don't want to just eat salads and plain healthy foods. We want variety and enjoyment from food as well. You're right that good definitions can help and are basically required. But there are plenty of cases where definitions are hard to define and understand. Like trying to define what content is suitable for children. Good science requires going beyond just 'common sense' definitions and need units of measure that we can agree upon and quantify. I don't know to what degree this paper helps move that needle forward. But this isn't something I'm just dismissing out of hand, either. I've spent the last few years getting serious about reversing some trends on my health that has had me reading plenty of advice and papers on the topic. It remains a very muddled topic, but I think there is some growing clarity there too.
