Team Members: Saya Honda & Sumi Uetake Turner

Abstract: 
This video is to express the values of consuming food products and well-balanced nutrition. In modern society, eating disorders are becoming an issue that is common for mainly teenagers; lack of nutrition and redundant restrictions of eating results in illness for mental health. We indicated the fact that having adequate nutrition beyond consuming healthy food is an essential process for both physical health and mental health, by traveling through various restaurants which provide well-balanced meals such as a plate with all five nutrition labeled food. Furthermore, by consuming food at restaurants, we can support improving the financial problem for restaurants. In one research, the number of companies that had bankruptcy was 842 in 2020, and through viewing specifically, we can find out that places relating to restaurants are all in the top three categories. In this video, we visited restaurants that are local/under private management, and are located in Tokyo, Nerima-Ku; the place where our school is located. Finally, food provides satisfaction that enhances the motivation and ability against numerous situations. Through enjoying eating the food you like, happiness arrives in you. Enjoying food in a proper form; having enough amount and well-balanced nutrition is one and a big step for physical and mental health with satisfaction. Going to local restaurants is a way of helping them financially. These are all factors that are helpful And valuable in producing smiles over people’s faces and hearts. Through the video, we would love to enlarge the number of smiles all over the world, and inform the genuine way of consuming food products that establish smiles on yourself, to the restaurant, and the society.
