Fit or Fat? Live or Die? You Decide.
Fatworld is an online game about the politics of nutrition. It explores the relationships between obesity, nutrition, and socioeconomics in the U.S. The game's goal is not to tell people what to eat or how to exercise, but to demonstrate the complex, interwoven relationships between nutrition and factors like budgets, the physical world, subsidies, and regulations. Existing approaches to nutrition advocacy fail to communicate the aggregate effect of everyday health practices. It's one thing to explain that daily exercise and nutrition are important, but people, young and old, have a very hard time wrapping their heads around outcomes five, 10, 50 years away. Follow this link for more details on Fatworld and how to play. |
