An obvious extension to current health methodology is to also include obesity and child stunting/wasting as functions of overall caloric intake per country. This would involve assumptions on equality/distribution of food access (for stunting/wasting), similarly, obesity rates as a function of caloric supply, and burden-of-disease-type data on the overall health impacts of these risk factors.
Adding this feature would allow fixed caloric intakes to be relaxed in optimizations, with the model itself balancing caloric intake to achieve good health outcomes (depending on health valuation).
