ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a nutrition-indicating device comprising a flat circular chart with a flat wheel rotatably pivoted at each side of the chart. The diameters of the wheels are the same and are less than the diameter of the chart so that a peripheral margin is left uncovered by the wheels on both sides of the chart. The names of different foods appear around this exposed periphery on both sides of the chart and the areas occupied by a number of the food names are given a color which is not the same for all foods. There are a plurality of such colors and the different colors represent different amounts of cholesterol in the food associated with the color. The particular colors disclosed are yellow, green, blue, purple, red and orange, which represent respectively: absence, trace, small, medium, large and abundance of cholesterol. Sectors of the chart are provided with a plurality of the same colors, representing respectively: absence, trace, small, medium, large and abundance of various named food items including vitamins which appear on each wheel. Thus, there is a column radially extending from the food on the chart toward the center of the circle. Overlying the radially extending colors there is a system of numbers, namely 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, representing respectively: absence, trace, small, medium, large and abundance of the respective food items. The use of the numbers overlying the colors in the same areas increases the amount of food item information provided by the device. For the purpose of further increasing the amount of space for identification of the various food items on the wheels, there are provided two of the columns of holes through the wheels in proximity but spaced somewhat from each other. In addition to the listing of food items, one of the holes of each wheel represents calories and the corresponding numbers on the chart are in terms of number of calories in 100 grams of the food. The number system and the color system for relative quantities of food items appears on the wheels so that the color or number of the food item corresponding to any listed food can readily be ascertained in terms of absence, trace, small, medium, large or abundance of that food item.
