Issue
Junk food has become a staple in many people’s diets, leading to obesity, heart disease and other health issues. We often choose quick and cheap options over healthier alternatives because of convenience and affordability. But are we sacrificing our health for convenience?
One of our potential clients, James, is a busy 32-year-old executive who spends most of his time at the office and barely has time to prepare nutritious meals. He often goes to the nearest fast food chain for a quick lunch between meetings. He knows he needs to make a change in his diet, but he doesn’t know how to fit healthy alternatives into his busy schedule.
Relevance of the issue
This problem does not only affect James but millions of people around the world. According to the World Health Organization, obesity rates have tripled since 1975. In the United States alone, more than two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese. We urgently need a solution to this problem to improve people’s health and quality of life.
Current solutions
Current solutions to the problem of unhealthy eating habits are limited. Although there are healthy food options available, they often come at a higher price or are not readily available. One of the most popular solutions is meal prepping, but not everyone has the time or knowledge to prepare a balanced meal plan for themselves.
Meal preparation services or pre-packaged meals can be expensive and inaccessible, especially for people on tight budgets or those who live in rural areas. Healthy food chains are also limited and mostly located in urban areas, leaving people with fewer options.
Why does the problem exist?
The fast-paced lifestyle of modern society has made it difficult to make healthy choices, leading to increased rates of obesity and related diseases. Junk food has become the norm, with many people pricing convenience over health. Lack of education and awareness of healthy eating habits also contribute to the problem.
The problem of unhealthy eating habits is further exacerbated by the food industry’s marketing tactics, which often promote unhealthy options as desirable and convenient. This further perpetuates the cycle of unhealthy eating habits.
