Abstract:

A board game is designed to convey nutritional education, by assigning to each space along a playing path on the board an association with a food. This association includes some nutritional characteristic such as its salt content per serving. The object of the game is for each player's piece to traverse the playing path while accumulating, by the piece landing on different spaces, a number of different food associations characterized by a total content of the particular ingredient in question. With substances such as salt, absorbable cholesterol, or saturated fat, the winner is the player having the smallest total amount of the ingredient.
