It needn’t be exact. A ballpark calorie/sugar that’s 90% accurate would be sufficient. There’s some research that suggests that’s possible: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.01082.pdf

Ik vind het maar behoorlijk generaliserend, een hele generatie in een hokje zetten en analyseren vanuit de leunstoel.
Overigens geloof ik niet in het idee dat met eigen acties je klimaatverandering tegen kan gaan ofzo. Dat idee speelt al sinds de jaren negentig “een beter milieu begint bij jezelf”. Wij zijn niet in staat om onze eigen gewoontes structureel tegen de loep te houden, en in plaats daarvan resulteert het in zelfgenoegzaamheid.

Tbh, the article doesn’t really talk about the headline. Just some history and talk about Elon musk and Twitter. Not a convincing argument about social media in general.
Because you were replying to this statement by OP:
and as societies get richer in material wealth they produce fewer children and have the luxury to pay attention to things like the environment and their impact on it.
In short your source doesn't support your claim, but it does story OP's claim
For crying out loud, Clyde... you need a bunch of science nerds to tell you something this obvious? Fine.
Lol, very first sentence in that source:
Three mechanisms influence the fertility decision of educated women: (1) the relatively higher incomes and thus higher income forgone due to childbearing leads them to want fewer children. [...]
Il y a toujours une grande difference entre les régions sur ce sujet:
On remarque un fort contraste entre la Suisse romande et la Suisse italienne en ce qui concerne l'importance du lieu de naissance. Au Tessin, 34% des personnes interrogées considèrent que le fait d'être né en Suisse est très important pour l'identité, alors que seuls 9% des francophones partagent cette opinion. Avec 21%, la Suisse alémanique se situent entre les deux autres régions linguistiques.
Sci-fi is fictional, Clyde - not prophecy.
They're just referring to the fact that the universe we live in is no "finite system" per the meme
Riiight... that's why we're the most destructive agent on the planet since the meteor that killed off the dinosaurs - because we "do more with less." Wtf?
Yes exactly! They're not saying that's a good thing but that's exactly why!
Which societies, Clyde? The ones that capitalism has impoverished so that a small minority can pretend their privileged lives are (somehow) "normal?"
Regardless if the distribution of that wealth is acceptable, growth has made the overall society richer in material wealth. The distribution of that wealth is an entirely different question.
And that's a good thing, is it? You know we could just achieve that easily by giving women reproductive rights, don't you? As in... no capitalism required at all?
You have any proof for that statement?
Adding to this, "limitless" growth just refers to the idea that it's very hard to reach all limits in our present universe.
I agree that there are more important problems with capitalism than if we've reached a limit or not.
Not saying I agree or disagree with the author. However you being his wife did not result in "female-initiated disruption of a male hierarchy" (their words) so it's not really an argument against their hypothesis.
(Of course your husband being nice and not a dickhead probably also plays a role)
I think the use case is not people doing potato study but people that want to lose weight and need to know the amount of calories in the piece of cake that’s offered at the office cafeteria.
