2013-01-22
so tell us about the happy fourth so the happy four got its most basic as a tool designed to help you eat more slowly and what so I like to eat fast man look at look you can you tell look at this look at this figure I eat fast a lot of people would like to look as as good as you do unfortunately some people have to work really really hard so you're touching my arm you're straining my eyes and you're hitting on me on stage I'm just doing the best I can you just say you know where we really want to be like you and you know and and for some people that cannot get there as easily as you do we're hoping that the happy for is going to build am I the only one that's feeling comfortable right now this is this is this is good okay so um this is this fourth like you said it tells you when you're eating too fast and how does it do that so we capture well the four captures the whole bunch of data specifically the times of they you eat when you start eating when you finish eating and for us and there for the duration of the meal and for us the number of fork servings you have the time elapsed / fork serving as well as the median time elapsed / fork serving across the entire meal and as we kept all of that data gets uploaded it gets ink and you know really why is it important because one of the things that happens immediately when you start slowing down is that you realize that just food spends a lot more time in your mouth then it usually does which means that all of the energy is happening at this level as opposed to in your stomach you stare directly into my soul when you say that like wow this is just I don't know what's wrong with me have you been through this I have not well I have an it was not very fun experience you know I was personally / wait until the age of

want to be happy we want to have fun doing this stuff but we're dealing with a really really serious issue that affects at least one person we know close to us definitely within our friends network millions of people wyd this is something let me just put it this way if I went to a government and it's not exactly like a government doesn't have resources to do stuff and I tell them look I'd like to run a study on 30,000 people for three months for three meals per day they're going to look at me and say how much do you want 150 million dollars I go that's about as much as you need here if we can get the help of the community to join us in this happy revolution to buy thirty thousand forks at a hundred dollars apiece we're talking about only three million dollars invested that is going to give us more information and help millions of people out there that even a government with 150 million dollars could not do so that's part of what we're trying to do and that's the serious portion of what I had to say you know that's great because we know how obesity is affecting youth across the nation in you know multiple countries and so you know we did have a lot of fun but I really really like that message and I could tell that you're passionate about it being someone who had to go through some of these things right you know what's what's great about this is that every single person of the full partners on the team has a very very personal and deep story they're all different but we're doing this because you know of course we came to the show wanted to demo the product the response has been so overwhelming that really you know we're leaving the show very humbled and we also leaving the show with a huge responsibility on our shoulders to say we have to do something about this today is the day that we start a happy revolution and we're hoping that a lot of people are going to join us to make this really finding the solutions here from the bottoms up as opposed to waiting for somebody else's for they SAT for us all right in a price and release date ninety-nine dollars this year for sure and we're working super hard to bring to market as soon as possible excellent okay thank you alright guys well it's time to wrap this up I still have my eaten food in my hand but I'm not gonna show you what that looks like like I held it the entire segment just think about that okay
