My simple answer to substitution is to just eat something else and not look for a substitute.
Most of these substitutes are just substrates made out of whatever can pass as similar and with "added vitamins" to check boxes, a lot of which don't even end up properly working like the vitamin in the form as it is in the original object. And this is on top of the manufacturing costs of the ultra-processed foods which seem low because of how normal food prices have been inflated.

There is a huge variety of diets that has historically worked for people and any can be chosen or even mixed and matched to complete dietary requirements.
For instance, you don't need dairy with your bread. Just make good quality pulses and beans with gravy (can be eaten with rice) and use some of the remaining gravy to make your bread tasty or just have bread with those pulses. Quite a few of the remaining nutrients can be obtained from accompanying salads and fruits. On top of that, fruits contain many more components (often lost when processed) whose effects have not yet been properly appreciated and quantified, making it hard to give them as supplements.

For some remaining nutrients unavailable as components of vegetable food, historically, people used fasting. Although this depends upon the specific gut microbiome and whether fasting will cause the specific nutrients to be produced, so I guess this cannot be lightly recommended across geo-cultur-racial boundaries. (Now of course, if some rich people really wanted to help with this, someone could come up with some probiotic drink that permanently enabled people generate those nutrients on fasting)

    Honestly, while I love eating butter, I'd rather not look for similar looking replacements.
    I can very well go with peanut/coconut oil (for cooking) and blended peanut for spreading, instead of using randomly processed industrial idk-what-oil based stuff that was originally developed with the intent to reduce costs to companies and then half-heartedly attempted to cater to those who care about nutrition, with a whole fake health campaign to make it work.

    Forget that, I'd rather just eat my bread with water.

    I guess nowadays you need to be in the category of "obsessive person", to even try to get any doable quality of code.
    Considering that words like "competent" or "careful" or even "perfectionist" don't apply to me and I would guess Linus is putting more effort than me, to keep his codebase clean.

    That sounds nice. Now implement it like this...

    User enters username and password then enters the Prompt.
    The Prompt gets generated into a request form.
    In the form, then the user fills the reasoning behind the prompt and attaches the required documentation and sends the request document to the Court.
    This document gets archived for eternity and also reaches the Court along with the full history of the user.
    The Court assigns the request to those that process warrants. After processing, if the request is accepted, then it goes to a judge that checks it and gives its digital signature, to create an acceptance token.
    This token then goes back to the user's system which then causes the Prompt to be passed to the AI interface.

    The same for all follow-up prompts.
