This presentation describes a proposed device and app called "Food Talk" that aims to help reduce food waste and control weight. The device would scan barcodes on food packaging, weigh the food, and track expiration dates. This information would be sent to a server and website where users could access storage and preservation advice, recipes, and food traceability. The device is small and portable with a barcode scanner, scale, WiFi connectivity, and screen. The goal is to remind users how to properly store food and use it efficiently through listening to what the food needs.
