A smartphone payment app will tally up the calorie and nutritional profile of your food purchases, as you make them. The app will display the calorie and nutritional profile of the item(s) you're paying for, even before you approve the payment. These calorie/nutritional profiles of food items would be measured against your pre-set nutritional/calorie goals, to let you know how your choices are impacting your dietary goals. It may even be possible to set the app to prevent purchases of items which radically exceed your dietary presets. As a mobile location- aware map, it might even display a list of nearby eateries with acceptable menu items having nutritional profiles falling within your remaining current daily dietary quota amounts.

       Maybe it could even offer some price discount incentive, if you stay within your daily dietary allowance. Have you ever seen these auto insurance apps that track your driving movements? They give you an insurance discount based on how well you drive. Imagine getting a health insurance discount based on your food purchasing pattern. You are what you eat - what you put into your body matters.

       [kdf] But have discounts ever been offered in connection with health insurance plans? That could be a new and useful innovation totally apart from food stamps, etc.
