Wonderful website! I would like the creator to continue existing for as long as possible.
I try to hit 2g/kg when I'm actively training as an athlete, and it's not that easy, and the tradeoffs to diet probably aren't worth it for most people.
Public health recommendations have a notoriously poor record (take the food pyramid for example), so RDAs aren't exactly the way to build a healthy diet. [0]
For example, here's a paper uncovering a statistical error in the calculation of the RDA for Vitamin D (600IU), resulting in it being over 10x lower than it should be (~9000IU). [1]

Maybe these are incompatible desires, but I would really like some kind of system that allows me to own and present my own music listening data while also allowing me to interoperate with a broader music listening culture.
Newsletters and blogs are great for discovery, but I also really value the way my last.fm has allowed me to recall a band I used to listen to a decade ago because I can remember a few of their contemporaries that are neighbours in the Similar Artists graph.
Being part of MusicBrainz, they also have metadata for most tracks or you can amend it yourself.
