You must not be american. It is literally not an option here.

Im a 180lb male and my maintenance calories is 2687. I do 1hr lifting 5 days a week but am pretty idle besides that.

2000 is really low for men.

China

26g of protein sure, but also 570 calories. Lean meats are hard to compete with, especially on a cut.

I am mostly playing devils advocate with OP tbh. Olive oil is linked to heart health benefits, but 99% of americans could benefit from far less calorie-dense oil, not more. Healthy is highly dependent on context

And yes I agree ultra-processed foods are generally bad

How is seed butter any healthier than nutella? The calories are about the same, you just swapped out a few carbs for fats.

You are delusional. And type of nut or seed butter is incredibly calorie dense from fats. And yes, when the obesity rate is 40%, calories are absolutely the single most important metric for health.
