One approach to this question is to say that there is no such generic  
function but the choices of the society should depend of what they  
want to achieve. Elected food for lunch should be such that all group  
members can eat it, but electing a recreational activity for the same  
group could be allowed to optimize the outcome for a small group of  
people (the others will have their lucky day some other day).
