Have an app give you a simple red/green/orange indication of how healthy processed food or produce is simply by pointing a phone at it.

Have an app scan an ingredient list or a interpret a photo of a fruit or vegetable you don't know to tell you how healthy the foodstuff is.

I love this idea for its simplicity! There are a bunch of app ideas that further the idea of determining the nutritional content of food, be sure to check them out.

This is a great idea! Researchers are coming to the conclusion that by gamifying our lives we can be nudged in the proper direction. As you mentioned, there is indeed an overlap with my app idea and it would be possible to combine them into a single app. People might be more incentivized to use the app if a game was involved. Maybe if people could unlock, by reaching a certain level, discounts at mayor retail outlets for healthy products or sports equipment or at the gym, it would incentivize them even more. Thanks for putting up this idea!

I think that this is an excellent idea. I would think that Caio's spectrograph above would come in handy to scan the actual nutritional content of the food. Thanks for your input
