Summary:

Install a walk-up computer kiosk at the front door of a supermarket. The dynamics would be like that of a wedding or baby shower kiosk. Shoppers who didn't have the time to check their food inventory at home before shopping but had good intentions of creating a nutritious meal could select from menus and print their selection(s). All selections would contain no more that 30% fat/within sodium levels/low sugar, etc. The Main Menu Selections would include: Recipes, Kids, On-The-Go, Diabetec Choices, Heart Healthy, Low sodium, High Protein, Vegetarian, and Ethnic. Once chosen, the next level selection would be much like a recipe box, including: Main Course, Side Dish, Salad, Quick Meals, Dessert, Appetizer, Breads, Snacks, "brown bag lunch", Sandwich, Soups. The next level selection would offer the choice of main ingredients including: Poultry, Beef, Grains, Pasta, Fish, Dairy. There would also be a selection to choose single serving frozen entree's or single items such as yogurt, deli items, bagged snacks, bakery, canned items, or pre-packaged foods. Once the main ingredients are selected, a list of recipes would appear. An example would be: Recipes-Main Course-Chicken. The recipes would list the items needed to purchase to make the meal. It would also contain the nutrition label, serving size, calories, fat, etc. Shopper can then print their recipe. Future enhancements might include coupons for the ingredients, location of ingredient in store, photos, optional side items to complement the recipe, iPhone app for recipes and nutrition label.
