New Shopping Cart Helps You Stick It to the Man
EDS outlined in a recent paper a new vision for a smart shopping cart that has — ho hum! — a screen and barcode scanner (like smart carts currently in use in some stores). The difference is that the cart would access a massive database of information, telling you not only nutrition information, but also the ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT of the foods you’re buying and, presumably, the ethical impact. Is your chocolate picked by child slave labor? Do your Ding Dongs use genetically modified corn as a sweetener? Is your Apple juice from China? Your cart tells all. (props to Vegetarian Organic Blog)
