The document discusses research conducted around women's shopping experiences for bras and lingerie. It profiles different types of shoppers including lone shoppers, mother-daughter shoppers, and social shoppers. Interviews with women of different ages revealed memories and feelings around their first bra shopping experiences. The researchers observed shoppers in stores like Victoria's Secret and conducted an experiment with one user. Based on the findings, the document suggests creating a new product - sentimental lingerie designed to evoke comfort through its design alone.
1. Greasy, deep fried foods are high in calories and fat, which can lead to weight gain and obesity and increase the risk of health problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.
2. Consuming too much greasy food can cause the liver to accumulate fat and increase the risk of developing gallstones.
3. Greasy foods are low in nutrients and can replace healthier foods in the diet, resulting in vitamin deficiencies that impact skin, muscles, and anemia. They also do not digest well and can cause issues like gas, bloating, and digestive problems.

The traffic lights system functions as a team to control the flow of traffic. As the leader, traffic lights use green, yellow, and red signals to direct motorists and pedestrians. Motorists follow the light signals to know when it is safe to proceed or stop. Pedestrians also use the light signals to determine when it is safe to cross the street. While some traffic controllers were once used, most lights now operate on a set timed schedule. The system collaborates effectively through communication between members, though some problems still exist from disobedience and malfunctions.
Trends, Tools, and Tactics for Better Library DesignElliot Felix
Webinar from October 2013 to Blended Librarians Group on the "Trends, Tools, and Tactics for Better Library Design" featuring trends on learning and research, tools from the learning space toolkit (www.learningspacetoolkit.org), and tips for putting them to work to improve your library's spaces, services, and staffing.
The document discusses changing environmentally harmful behaviors through understanding psychology and habits. It argues that simply providing information is not enough, as behaviors are often automatic habits triggered by environmental cues. The author provides examples of how habits can be broken, such as developing self-control, changing environments, and focusing on intrinsic values like community over materialism. Sustainable living does not require sacrifice and can increase happiness by focusing on meaningful connections rather than consumption.

Detox Yourself.
There's a lot of common misconceptions about detoxification. If you have an Instagram account, or a Twitter feed, or even a Facebook timeline, you probably have heard of detox. Maybe people have gone on a juice diet, maybe they have been juicing all sorts of fruits and vegetables.
If you are in any way shape or form frustrated, unhappy, or feeling stuck with your lifestyle, you need to overthrow how you view your life. One of the best ways to do this is to learn to truly let go through a wholistic detox system.
Nothing else comes close. Nothing else would work. Seriously. No joke.If you want permanent change and you want maximum control over many areas of your life, it is time that you reach out for the ultimate reset or reboot button and go on a total detox system.
There is a real solution out there. A lot of it is counter-intuitive but if you focus on a holistic overall detox system it will reward you many times over.

online research.

3. Eat Simple.
Products are increasingly adapting the concept of “less is more”.
Production is being achieved with less ingredients allowing
consumers to know what’s in their food and more importantly
what’s not such as artifcial ingredients and unnatural additives.
In effect, consumers are increasingly demanding “cleaner” food labels:
labels without MSG and chemical preservatives.
“If they can’t pronounce it, consumers don’t want it.” -Bruce, USA Today
DESIGN IIII: Visual Organization and Information Design Vicki Sotiros
4. Eat Fresh.
Fresh food with natural ingredients are the new “functional”.
Consumers are now demanding foods with all-natural ingredients that
are also produced naturally and organically. This “fresh” trend has knocked
nutrient-enhanced foods off the shelves and replaced them with foods
haturally enriched with vitamins and nutrients.
“The trend is being dubbed ‘inherently nutritious’ or ‘functionally
natural.’ The new ideal is fresh, less processed, real and
authentic.” -Bruce, USA Today
DESIGN IIII: Visual Organization and Information Design Vicki Sotiros
5. Eat Organic.
This new, popular trend encourages people to eat organically grown and produced foods.
“Organic” has recently become an extremely common term in
the market of food.This trend has become so popular that most companies
have now created organic food lines if not converting to the ideals completely.
“Grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modi-
fied organisms, or ionizing radiation. Animals that produce meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy
products do not take antibiotics or growth hormones.” -Steendhal, The Menu Mom
Additionally to being a healthier, more natural option, organic food products have become
even more popular become of their “eco-friendly” characteristic.
DESIGN IIII: Visual Organization and Information Design Vicki Sotiros
6. Eat Sustainable.
In support of our environment, food packaging is now becoming more sustainable.
The sustainable craze across the United States has led to not only
more “green” restaurants but eco-labeling on products as well as
bio-degradable packaging.
Large brands like Kashi Foods have introduced bio-degradeable
packaging for their frozen dinners. In addition, the usage of compostable
and bio-degradeable containers such as coffee cups and take-out
containers are becoming more predominant in restaurants, delis, and even
24-hour corner stores.

7. Eat Salt Free .
After becoming a health concern, foods are being manufactured with less and less sodium.
In light of the United States Department of Agriculture’s nutritional guidelines,
Americans are consuming well over the amount of suggested sodium intake
and in turn have seen a general increase in high blood pressure. Much of this
is in effect to the high sodium concent in packaged food sold in the U.S.
Consumers have now shown a newfound concern in the sodium on nutrition labels.
Additionally, manufacturers and brands have now altered their sodium usage and
introduced new “reduced sodium” and “salt free” products.

8. Eat Clean.
A new eating trend that promotes a healthy and natural lifestyle.
“Eating Clean is treating your body right. It is eating the way
nature intended.” -Robert Kennedy Publishing, The Eat-Clean Diet
The new lifestyle trend of “Clean Eating” is one that encourages
people to eat foods that our bodies naturally work on; ones that help
us function. The guidelines include eating lean proteins, complex carbs,
and healthy fats. These allowed foods would include things such as
chicken, fruits, vegetables, and peanut butter.

10. How would you define “organic” food?
“It’s good for you and it helps the environment.”
“They don’t use fertilizers and everything is fresh.”
“Food that is not ‘genetically modified’; it is ‘au natural’.”
“It is less processed food; food that is not infested with pesticides and chemicals.”
“No preservatives, chemicals, and pesticides are used when things are being produced.”
Do you buy organic food?
“Yes, because it’s healthy. Trader Joe’s is my spot.”
“Some things. Organic fruits and vegetables.”
“No, I do not buy organic food.”
“Only if it is already an option. I will not go out of my way to find food that is specifically organic.”
“Sometimes, fruits and vegetables mainly.”
DESIGN IIII: Visual Organization and Information Design Vicki Sotiros
11. Are you aware of what is in what you’re eating?
“No, I never look at the labels.”
“No, not really. I never bother reading the ingredients.”
“Bad shit, like my favorite asperatame, but i’m still going to drink diet soda.”
“To a certain extent. I always check the sodium on every label to make sure there’s not too much.”
“Yes, I always read the labels. I like being aware of the ingredients.”
Have you heard of “Clean Eating”?
“No, I have no idea what that is. Is it just eating healthy?”
“I have heard of it, but I couldn’t tell you anything about it.”
“Is that vegan? No wait, yes. That’s eating organic food right?”
“No, I can’t say that I have. I have no idea.”
“No, I haven’t heard of ‘Clean Eating’.”
DESIGN IIII: Visual Organization and Information Design Vicki Sotiros
12. Do you find nutrition labels are difficult to read?
“No, not really, I just never feel like it.”
“A little. I just dont understand them.”
“No.”
“Not really, I’d say they’re pretty basic.”
“No I don’t, but then again i’m very health conscious and I’ve done my research.”
How could labels be more “user-friendly”?
“To be honest, I just wouldn’t read the labels either way.”
“List and name the ingredients in a way that people actually know what they are.”
“Make the font bigger!”
“Maybe a drawing of the portion size. I’m never sure what a portion would actually look like.”
“I already think they’re pretty ’user-friendly’. People just need to learn more about nutrition.”
