The task was to identify a behaviour connected to food and from that design a product. Not to solve a problem but to bring light on the behaviour itself. The behaviour I picked was the battle between parent and child, where the parent try to control the child through the food and the child is testing boundries by refusing. This product aims to help the child overcome the parent.
