When I think of healthy foods I think of things that aren't highly processed, that are lower sodium, and have little or no sugar. More natural, like salad, fresh vegetables and fruits, lean meat, usually fish. When I try to eat healthy I avoid prepackaged or boxed meals, they are such salt bombs and high in carbs. I don't eat out as often when I'm trying to eat healthy.
The problem is that I don't trust the game to think what I think is healthy as healthy. or the other way around.
Maybe it's because I am Swedish, but for me "fried fish" is as unhealthy as it gets: Breadcrumbs and fat with some fish in the middle. But apparently the game says it's healthy? :smiley: Must be using a different recipe
Agreed. I think they have a very warped idea of which foods to include. I've also seen people say on here that all of the gourmet cooking recipes are supposed to be high in calories and/or "unhealthy," which is deeply stupid if true. What could be healthier than a Caprese salad? (I mean, I guess if you absolutely drown it in olive oil, that would be bad, but lots of places IRL skip the olive oil or barely add a few drops.) Or pasta primavera: it can be made unhealthy, but at heart it's mostly pasta, vegetables, and herbs. Herb crusted salmon? Come on. Spinach frittata, or shrimp cocktail? Again, come on.
I feel like in general, dishes that are centered around vegetables, fruit, and/or fish (maybe also chicken), and are either grilled, roasted, or minimally prepared, should all go in the healthy category. Things that are fried should not.
After all, since they opted not to give us harvestable olives for our Mediterranean world with olive trees, I think we have to assume that our poor, poor sims do not even have access to olive oil...
As far as why it is the way it is, I suspect that rather than consulting an actual nutritionist, they probably based the healthiness of the TS4 menu on some of the highly suspect trendy paleo diets or whatever.
