I've seen a lot of tortoise diets for one species of tortoise, and sometimes the lists are so different its hard to choose which is truly safe to use. However, at the same no one should religiously follow a diet that not many people go by, nor should they not trust it. As well many people could always compare other sources.
Personally, I'd prefer pictures because I guess it shows the outcome of the diet, and can help make the control of shell growth more maintainable (At the same time might as well give the temperature and overall care which at that point is a caresheet which even then most people can misinterpret :/ but that's oh well) and unless someone were to get paid to make these caresheets or charge viewers, I would understand if someone used their own personal experience to write them (out of kindness ) instead of conducting true scientific research. I'm not saying that people wouldn't go out of their way to do this, in fact I've seen some caresheets with chemical compositions written with them.
I just think it'd be easier to trust some proof even though its almost like a why bother, I guess I like the more info the better lol. As well pictures can help configure diets to be better. Then again at the same time some tortoises DNA are laced with higher/lower possibility of shell and health conditions (such as the saying not everyone's the same)
