Think Of This Video Every Time You Eat Ramen


Avoiding processed foods can be difficult, especially when living on a tight budget. This noodle-eye-view of Top Ramen and Gatorade travelling into your stomach might make you go the extra mile.

The video is just a preview of a project called M2A: The Fantastic Voyage by media artist Stefani Bardin. M2A refers to an ingestible capsule literally dubbed Mouth-to-Anus, which contains a camera and LED capable of recording the whole messy journey. The captured video is combined with data from a separate capsule that senses pH and pressure in the gastrointestinal tract.

One subject was fed a meal of Top Ramen, Gatorade and Gummi Bears, while the other was fed hand-made noodles, pomegranate/cherry juice, gummy bears and hibiscus “Gatorade” (presumably home-made). The result is an intimate portrait of how our bodies break down processed vs whole foods. [YouTube via Food and Tech Connect]
