How can design help us eat healthy nutritious food? We all make desicions every minute of every day about what to eat, and there is alot to consider when choosing. Cost, time, and convience are not the only things that affect our choices but also portion, packaging, and even how, when, and where we eat. And don't forget family behavioral patterns.
The importance of this issue is undeniable. Obesity is rising at an alarming rate and there are a multitude of illnesses as a result, such as Type 2 diabetes, hyper tension, heart conditions, and eating disorders. Today's children will most likely have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. Why does it seem that the more obesity stories appear in the media another shelf of diet books fills up at the bookstore? You'll find books on the thyroid diet, 3 hour diet, blood type diet, sonoma diet, self hypnosis diet...
Complex issues such as nutrition and weight cannot be solved by a magic pill, but design can inform us on how what we eat can help us live a satisfying, delicious, and healthy life.
