Prioritize A over B implies you give more value to A over B. Example: we all sure value chocolate and health, but you must set your priorities.

If you give priority to your health,then you shouldn't care about the fat guy eating chocolate restlessly.

Those aren't binary choices, there is a spectrum. (and of course I can eat some chocolate and then go for a swim, which leaves me more healthy than if I had done neither of those things)
I agree with you, but I don't see how priority isn't about a binary choice though.

I forgot cocoa has health benefits, should have used cigarettes as example.
