Li Jianye: Food Piramid Lunchbox.
Revised: October 28, 2008
The food pyramid is not a familiar concept to me, I knew of it before now but not too many details because like most of the population I didn’t care and still don’t need to. However it is a very interesting idea linked with healthy eating and looking after your body and this is where Li Jianye gets involved, she has designed the above lunch box to make what most people saw on the wall of their dentist/doctors as a poster - a physical object which they could understand. While the concept is a little lost on me as I am able to eat pretty much what I want with no ill effects, I would be likely to buy one of these if they became available because it is a really nice design and as such has made me interested in the idea behind it. Also as seen below, it not only gives you correct portion sizes, it makes them look really pretty too!
