The RDA Interactive Chopping Board Advises Serving Sizes
Amelia Roblin — September 2, 2011 — Art & Design
Few consumers are educated in the quantities of which foods they should be eating, but the RDA Interactive Chopping Board is a tool that simultaneously does the work for the cook while teaching him or her about appropriate portions.
This hi-tech kitchen accessory has been programmed with the means to recognize the type of food that sits on its surface by the color that it exudes and in the way that it accumulates in a pile. The device has prescribed concepts of how much of which meats or vegetable an adult or a child should be eating, but it also allows the chef to make his own adjustments. Both sides of the RDA Interactive Chopping Board can be used, and they are enhanced with illuminating LED lights to communicate serving sizes and other helpful information.
