FoodFeed (pun intended?) upon first glance seems like another way to clutter up our lives with information which adds little long-term value. However in the right hands, this data could actually help improve lives.
For example, this type of interface could be really useful for newly diagnosed Diabetics who need council on their eating habits. If this were linked to some major retailer's pharmacy or other health professional, they could begin to prescribe better eating habits. Or maybe in a community of dieters, this type of record could provide social accountability. Also possibly developing a panel of trusted "expert eaters," who are followed for great eating tips that fit similar lifestyles.
As designers of experiences we are stewards of technology, and are responsible to create relevant interactions. The trick now and in the future isn't necessarily about making new interfaces, but being able to adapt experiences which build relationships between consumers and brands. If you've got ideas but not sure how to implement them, or questions where you want to go next, send us an email and let's talk. [where2@gonextconsulting.com]

maybe it is just me, but I would only display the healthy stuff, like the salad I had with dinner, innocently omitting the chocolate chip cookie I had following.
but, I'm sure there are some good applications of the info in there somewhere.
