As I was thinking about the whole obesity crisis and how technology has lead to its magnitude, I thought of the ultimate Couch Potatoe idea that has yet to be used. On iO and other digital cable channels there are specific channels to buy cars and browse houses yet there is one thing that is missing, which is vital to every couch potatoe : food. If iO created a channel that was like 706 - Domino's, where you could order pizza from your remote control and have it delivered to your door in 30 minutes, it would be a huge success. The advantages would be that the person would not have to get up and also since it is on TV you could have videos of each choice and a more detailed "menu" Payment options could vary but the easiest would be for it just to be added to your monthly cable bill. Just another idea on how to take advantage of "obese America"

A good idea for the menu thing. But wouldn't you have to get up to answer the door when the pizza guy comes?
well it has to be step by step..now you wont need to go to the phone and soon enough there will be something invented so the pizza jumps out of the screen and into your hands
its a good idead to upgrade convience but it will undoubtably increase obesity significantly. This idea takes advantage of the 5 - 6 hour a day television watching which most people, more commonly the youth of society,spend in a reclined position. With consumer convience comes a price. I'm sure that taxes and such will double due to new factors coming in to play such as, approval by cable companies. But if you like convience im sure the benefit outways the cost.
