hey I'm Donnell Bell here for cnet com at CES 2013 where I've been eating a lot of food free food I should complain that has been served to me and I need to eat it very quickly and I've learned too late that I really needed this device this is the copy fork this is entering kickstarter funding on in February and it's going to be available for ninety-nine dollars in the 2nd quarter of 2013 it is a Bluetooth connected fork and is intended to help you slow down when you eat and I really could use that right now so it has a built in a little buzzer like a cell phone buzzer and it can monitor when you're eating too fast and give you a little force feedback here on the handle to remind you to slow down it also counts the number of times you heave food towards your face and it counts how long you've been eating and overall the entire idea is that it's trying to slow you down because there's been studies that have found that people who eat slower ultimately consume less calories because their bodies register that they're full and thereby they eat less food it's also going to come with a companion the happy track that will monitor how happy you are and those moments where you're feeling especially grateful or full of Glee or maybe you're full of glum you hold down the little button and register exactly how happy you are in your happy meter and it seems like a silly little thing but there's really nothing out there right now that tracks your happiness so you can remember here at CES I was full of despair on saturday but sunday i came across the happy fork and i was very excited so I changed my happy meter there and you can track it throughout the year maybe maybe yes seasonal affective disorder and you would never know until you track your happiness using the happy track so hopefully that will come to another thing about the happy fork if you're wondering how it gets its charge for the Bluetooth connection is that it has a built-in battery that you charge over what I think is micro USB yeah well micro USB here in the back so you can recharge this if you 15 days of battery life you can run this through the dishwasher don't run your battery pack with the dishwasher so along with the happy fork you get a companion app that will help you track how fast you've been eating how many bytes you've been taking how often probably if you've been eating too quickly you also get a family-focused game that will help other people in your health fields compete to how slowly they can eat at suppose you win the race by how slow you go it was also going to be I believe a video it's like a video coach to help you lose weight for cnet.com and Donald Bell here at CES 2013 with be happy pork
