The purpose of this invention, “Eat Rite Baby” is to offer its users a visual interpretation of how proper nutrition and exercise influences appropriate weight maintenance and health. This deed will be accomplished through physical and interactive methods. Sensors placed in the doll's open mouth will react to sensors in accompanying foods which will stimulate the doll into action, thus allowing a simulated weight gain and subsequent weight loss. These sensors will be located within a box that will allow for wires to extend through the baby's body in order to transmit signals to areas that will change. Additionally, the doll will be accompanied by a cd that will further instruct the user on how to live a healthier lifestyle via proper food selections, exercises, food group choices, portion sizes, etc.

Typical digestive enzymes for humans not produced by the body or naturally occurring in foods are provided by SEP, supplements. In many cases the body does not have the capacity of producing the quantity of both digestive and metabolic enzymes as they are needed as described in the above background. People when eating out or traveling forget to pack the enzymes when eating at a restaurant. SEP though available to consumers as orally taken supplements before and after a meal; are often are not taken in a timely manner due to the forgetfulness, lack of supply and or convenience. The current invention could be defined by one embodiment, as the ability to help humans, pets and animals to ingest one or more enzyme source fundamentally embedded in the foods they actually eat and consume. In other words, Food from all food groups as shown in FIG. 3 (Food Pyramid) broken down into its nutrient pieces: amino acids (from proteins), fatty acids and cholesterol (from fats), and simple sugars (from carbohydrates), as well as vitamins, minerals, and a variety of other plant and animal compounds.A major embodiment of the present invention is based on the concept of Enzyme Fortified Foods (EFF). EFF is defined as one or more enzymes are fundamentally rooted and or systemically embedded to one or more food categories, and / or food classification(s) and / or good groups and / or food recipes and / or food sources and / or food uses etc. EFF is not administered by the same means as SEP dosages. SEP dosages are administered in the form of pills, capsules and or chewables. EFF's are administered by adding or mixing one or more enzymes directly to the digested food source.In addition to digestive enzymes, the present invention includes but is not limited to all types and categories of enzymes for all metabolic functions and benefits. For specifically, the new system could include various methods enhancing enzyme, one scenario could include for example, the following: Digestive enzymes, primarily produced in the pancreas and small intestine, break down our food into nutrients so that our bodies can absorb them.The present invention builds a new brand category (Enzyme Fortified Foods—“EFF”) for all food manufactures and all food processors, restaurants, and food handlers (commercial and home) which could add one or more enzyme which optimizes digestion regarding a specific product and or product line.The invention includes a system of measurements based on the type of enzyme as listed in Enzyme Catalog A. It is understood by anyone familiar with the art that one or more classification of enzymes could be combined as listed in Enzyme Catalog A. One or more Enzymes could be added to any and all NAICS food groups (The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy). It is understood by anyone familiar with the art that all food groups in all countries around the world could be categorized with a similar system.
