Biodiversity

The availability of choice is important to a lot of consumers. A higher selection of choices, more variety of species, or higher biodiversity of species, including how they are packaged means more options for consumers. Choice is often a good thing. People are able to make choices and shape their diet to produce a balanced intake of the nutrients that they need as an individual.

However, more choice is not necessarily good. More consumer choice makes it harder for the average person to pick up a nutritionally valuable and sustainably sourced product off of the shelf. In short, more choice can lead to more confusion in what is best to buy.

More choice also tends to mean that the store has some products that are not ethically or sustainably sourced. If this is a factor you want to be aware of (and you should), then more choice may convolute your ability to pick the best option in a given circumstance.
