The Fudge your granny made when you were a child? Sushi? Pizza? Hummus with pita and oil cured olives? Good coffee and pistachio ice cream? By which objective standard do you compare your favorite taste treats?

Minimize suffering as much as you can; maximize a certain level of happiness and utility for all.

People who disagree with the above are sometimes sociopaths.
