Buying food.
"When we are shopping it is so complicated to check which products are suitable to us. I just can´t stand reading those tiny lists on the packets! "
Shopping for groceries, for some, has become a complicated procedure. How do you know what is best for your body? How do you know if food contains ingredients you may be allergic to? A simple device that could read bar codes or RFIDs could do the trick. It would allow shoppers to quickly decipher whether any given food would be compatible with their current nutrition goals. Although technology may provide a quick solution, many also agree that is up to the individual to educate themselves and be aware of nutrition in general, after all, it is their body. Buying naturally grown foods can also serve as a simple way to choose quality food to sustain a healthy lifestyle.

bsaghini thinks: I think it's important for everyone know about nutrition, how it effects them, and what is best for their own bodies. Having some type of bar code system to tell you what is best for you assumes you have to set up some computerized profile of yourself and keep up with it. I doubt that many people would take the effort when a basic knowledge of nutrition is really all that's needed.
