I see what you're saying, but even your example is still to difficult to care about for the "average joe" in my average joe opinion. Honestly, I'm curious who out there really tracks how much vitamin C and calcium and taurine (you Monster drink lovers) you take in daily, weekly, yearly, et al? I know this is OmniNerd and there may be somebody out there, but I'd be willing to bet money that even the resident nutrition buff, Brandon, doesn't even get that picky.
The other cool thing about the Flex Plan that I didn't mention because it was additional minutia at the time, is the emphasis placed on eating a certain amount of servings that count toward different food groups such as dairy, vegetable, fruit, etc. Like you said above, you wouldn't want to result in an unbalanced diet of (just for the sake of example) 16 cookies a day at 2 points a piece equalling your daily allowance of 32 points....that would not be very balanced.
