Seems like a good idea to me if the citizens select a new food type if it’s available over one that they would complain about if they ate it (due to lack of diet variety (vardiety?)). As is, I think they just go for something at random, or perhaps whatever’s closest. If they care enough to complain about a lack of variety, they probably would care enough to take a few extra steps to another food type, within reason. See 31:01 in the video for an example of what I’m talking about.
