The Challenge
Obesity in the Middle East is twice the global rate. It's often said, healthy habits start at home. The problem is, families cannot eat healthier if they don't have the right ingredients available to enjoy a balanced diet.
The Idea
VMLY&R COMMERCE Dubai/UAE turned a kid's shopping cart into an educational tool by simply adding color-coded pouches that mirror the balanced food requirements recommended for children in the UAE. We partnered with Carrefour and redesigned the supermarket's wayfinders to match the cart – making it easy for kids to follow a balanced diet.
