Painful to read this "stuff". However, these things are no longer surprising to me given the multitude of false data backing up many wild claims these days. Yes, one observation is that these foods and their respective nutrition weightings (you need a value weighting assignment to rank foods from most to least healthy) appear to be done with food manufacturers and cost of production in mind. It's much less costly to produce processed foods with carbohydrates than it is to grow/raise healthy foods with nutrient dense proteins. It's possible the WHO is involved, as this would be the way to solve world hunger by communicating these rankings to encourage people to eat this way.
The most troubling aspect of this is that Food Compass is intended to be used by the population to inform food choices, and it is marketed to be a tool for health. Glad to see several people who have good followings blowing this up. All that's left is for the high tech algorithms to revoke some FB, Twitter, and TikTok accounts due to the spreading of false information challenging settled "science." You can't make this up. Thanks for some humor this morning.
