Prevention is better than cure “Taking care of one’s health is all about prevention. In the past, the focus was on treatment of diseases, with little, if any, attention to prevention. Prevention, however, can often be less costly than treatment and offer a better quality of life for an individual as well as community.” Ruth A Roth Clinical Dietician at Parkview Hospital Professor at Purdue University Ruth A. Roth, Nutrition & Diet Therapy Blue Team - NUTRIcipe

The financial costs Blue Team - NUTRIcipe US Department of Health and Human Services
What does the customer currently spend? • Americans spend an average of $6,100 per year or 12% of their income on food. 1 • 46 Billion dollars per year are spent on diets. 2 1. US Department of Labor 2. Leah Hoffman and Lacey Rose Blue Team - NUTRIcipe

A healthy diet avoids many of the causes for seeking medical treatment. 1 • A greater awareness of what makes a balanced, healthy diet is achieved. • Time is saved planning meals, and making grocery lists. 1. The American Journal of Medicine Blue Team - NUTRIcipe
Potential problems • This solution requires access to the internet. • Some people, who have a need for this product, will not have access to it. • Though much of the “work” is handled by this product, the user does still have to take the time to input data. • If ad revenue is generated, how can the customer know for sure that our results are not compromised?
