Foodzilla - New Zealand

In 2017, a report revealed that New Zealand was ranked as the third most obese country in the world. This prompted an investigation into the reasons for obesity and how people consume food. It was discovered that the average person does not know the nutritional value of their meals, especially when eating out. Many fast food chains and restaurants do not make it easy to find the nutritional values of their food, or the data is simply unavailable. People are also unaware of how many calories they need to eat in a day. In response to this, technology was brought into the nutrition world in an effort to solve these issues.
