Going one level below the discussion about the correct definition of selfishness vs. selflessness (the answer here might help us understand what the definition should be):

What do you use as the standard for what "good" is? I.e., if you were to say that "healthy food is good," the question I'm asking is, "good for what?" Put another way, when you evaluate something as good or bad (or neutral) in a specific context, by what means do you decide which of these categories to place the thing in?
