Eating Healthy Made Easy

A new app, The Eatery, has been designed that allows user to take a photo of their meal and upload it to their database to be rated as healthy or unhealthy by other users.  When one uploads a photo they are prompted immediately to rank other users photos in order to ensure all photos are ranked.  The extremes of the scales are discarded to provide a more average vote.  Nutritionists also periodically rank photos to make add some consistency to the system.
When a photo is uploaded the user is prompted to add a location and the time/meal is recorded.  This allows the system to plot where healthy and unhealthy meals are being eaten and for what meal.  This app is simpler to use than counting calories, providing more motivation to eat healthy.  One can visually see and get ranked feedback rather than only counting their calories, which many tend to leave some meals and snacks out.  It is also more reliable that using software programs that estimate the calories in a meal based on an image.  Providing feedback from actual people rather than a program is more realistic and people are more willing to listen to a person rather than a program.  This app also allows users to plot their own meal progress of healthy vs unhealthy meals.  The Eatery also can show other users where healthy and unhealthy meals have been eaten along with plotting where healthy and unhealthy districts are.  Statistically, this application can provide cities with data about the impact of certain restaurants on the eating habits of their citizens along with the location of food deserts.
