Abstract

The purpose of this chapter on Nutrition Games is to highlight the need for nutrition game development, review current nutrition games and research, and direct attention to applicable resources on this topic. There is a dire need for nutrition education assistance and help to alleviate nutrition problems in the world, ranging from undernutrition to overnutriton. Gaming strategies have been successful with a multitude of health issues, such as smoking and exercise, but little has been done on the topic of nutrition. Much need and opportunity exists in this complex area of game development that embraces art and science.
