Given my definition, starving is the opposite of sustenance, which is why I raised that point. I agree that it's not particularly poignant an issue for most Americans.

May I suggest that if you do, then offer a tiered suite of plans from basic survival (cheapest) to Whole Foods Maxi (most expensive)? 😉

So can we agree that sustenance is not always food? And food, as you put it, is a higher order, lower-time preference means of sustaining oneself?

No, I'd say that if you are legit starving, then anything that actually prevents that is food. "Food" is a personal and circumstantial category.
On the app idea, my plan was to have different default settings, but also let people set their own nutrient goals.
