In the future, eating will remain a challenge on various levels: meal times are shortening, inequities between the rich and the poor increase, the general quality of food decreases. Fat for Your Mind is a set of three plates intended at raising awareness about these questions.

The first is about time: the amount of time that we spend for a dinner becomes shorter and shorter, and this affects our social life as well as the quality of our nutrition. A Piece of Time shows people how much fractionating their time can affect their nutrition.

The second one is about quantity: the world of eating will remain divided in two parts: rich countries of the north that will have more than what they need and poor countries of the south that will not have enough to eat. Who is hungry? tends to evoke the inequities that will remain between rich countries, symbolized by the USA, and poor countries, symbolized by Africa.

Then the last one is about quality: mass production of food is engaging several new problematics such as GMO or cloning, the food industry and consumer don’t seem to consider enough the potential dangers. Plaaaaaaate tries to express the possibility of a distortion or a bug in the quality of the food that has been modified in its genome for the purpose of improving quantities.

Meat Ketchup.

French designer Elsa Lambinet present a new way of eating chocolate called Sweet Play. By using a mix & match attitude she created a modular chocolates shell can be white, milk or dark chocolate with a slot in the front for wafers, nougat, biscuit or caramel, and a depression in the top to hold nuts, fruit or liquid.

Lambinet describes her project as follows:
“Adaptations allows for intuitive combinations, yet allows for freedom and range of choice to the participant.

A modular design allows for three types of chocolate that can support two added ingredients: black chocolate has a hole to contain fruit, milk chocolate has spaces for nuts, and white chocolate is surfaced to hold liquids, and all three contain a hollowed compartment for inserted flavored wafers, perhaps nougat, biscuit or caramel.

Participants get to mix and match ingredients for hours and hours as they gorge themselves on custom confectionery goodness.”

Parmesan Cheese Pencil created by Kolle Rebbe.

Shaped like oversized pencils, the “leads” contain three different flavors: truffles, pesto and chilli. With the sharpener included, the required amount of cheese can be sprinkled on the dish. A scale on the pencils and on the back of the packaging doesn’t just simply list how much of the Cheese Pencil is needed for each dish, but even how many calories the portion contains.
Sadly they were only created in a limited run of 500 sets, which sold out in just 2 weeks.
