    Measuring nutritional value on a single good/bad axis will always give a very misleading picture, especially if you don’t specify how it’s measured. You can choose reasonable metrics to make that axis look however you want.

    For anyone interested, they used Nutri-Score for this plot.

      Nutri score just looks at the kCal and fat/carb/prot distribution.

      So it really isn’t about the quality of the food, but just about how “balanced” it is.
