To my surprise, it was an actual front-end task. I told him jokingly "What, no leetcode?" to which he laughed saying "I have my ways". To my even bigger surprise, it was also a DSA question in disguise.
After writing a component to render out a filesystem tree view, the interviewer asked me which algorithm I was applying for this task. I never really think of algorithms when doing front-end, only in terms of design patterns, but the answer was immediately clear that I was using DFS. Sadly I didn't get a follow-up, I thought I just didn't pass. Then a few days after one of their massive layoff rounds, got an e-mail saying I did great but weren't hiring anymore, lol.
But I liked this approach so much that I've used variations of this question when interviewing candidates at my job. The task itself is incredibly simple, but a surprisingly amount of people can't solve it or complicate it unnecessarily without or before asking for clarification. I also tell them it's not necessary to write executable code. This somehow confuses people a lot? I've found a lot of candidates not comfortable writing code without an IDE, even with an "open-book" and when told it doesn't have to run.
If it serves as a guideline, the calorie tracking app I use has a default serving suggestion of 100-150g, raw, for different meats. So even 2 servings of those, twice a day, would still be around half of 2 of those steaks, which happens to be about what I eat in a day, between chicken and lean beef.
Different things come to mind with the size of those steaks but honestly I would just be assuming things and spouting probable nonsense. If they're packaged raw, I would check if they're heavily injected with water to boost the marketable weight. If it's not cheap meat it's probably not an issue.
Some people can make do just fine with that but they're usually burning that off or actually consuming the excess protein from post-exercise recovery, even then, 1kg is still a lot.
A lot by how much, that depends on your body composition and the fat percentage of those steaks.
But anyway, on data: Red meats are classified as <probable carcinogenics> (key: probable). https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/can...
Quantifying data: "The cancer risk related to the consumption of red meat is more difficult to estimate because the evidence that red meat causes cancer is not as strong. However, if the association of red meat and colorectal cancer were proven to be causal, data from the same studies suggest that the risk of colorectal cancer could increase by 17% for every 100 gram portion of red meat eaten daily."
What is not clear to me is if this was measured raw or cooked. Cooked meat will shrink and weigh less.
If I were you, I would just go get some checkups, see if you got any deficiencies or anything wrong that might be caused by your eating habits, and if not, just keep enjoying your 1kg of pork steak a day... anyway, I'm amazed you can eat that much pork in a single day, lol.

Luck is definitely a factor in interviews. You can never be fully prepared even if you 100% match the posted job requirements, so you better hope your interview relates to stuff you are prepared for....
This is, of course, just anecdote, but one of them was a good friend who failed their internship interview and passed a fulltime interview just 6 months later, both at Google... so there wasn't that much of a skill difference in-between.
Also, world state is not deterministic like Braid's levels, so entities can lose its rewindable status or have their state history modified depending on certain factors (a destroyed or lost object can't be brought back with rewind, etc.).
Also, when you're pressing a fret, the pitch isn't coming from where you have your finger, but from the following fret which is making contact with the string. You can actually press the actual fret instead of the area between the fret and the one before it, and it should sound the same.
Now if the person that drew this knew that, I don't know.
