Iranians said keen on Israel's obesity-busting plate
Plate my Meal, a company founded by Dror Tamir and Dr. Liat Zivan, has developed a set of plates designed to promote healthy eating habits and combat obesity. The plates are divided into different sections for each meal of the day and indicate the correct portion sizes and food variety. The company is planning to expand its product line to include plates for adults, including specific plates for women, men, vegans, vegetarians, and those with health conditions. Plate my Meal is also developing a mobile app to reach wider populations and adapt the plates to different cultures and languages. Preliminary results from a study at Meir Hospital showed that children using the plates ate smaller portions and increased their consumption of vegetables and proteins. The company is in talks with the Health Ministry to include the product in the fight against obesity.

Could an Israeli startup train Iranian kids to eat right?
Israeli startup Plate my Meal offers a set of plastic plates to instill healthy eating habits in toddlers. The plates indicate when to eat and suggest meal times, control portion sizes, and display pictures of food groups appropriate for each meal. Clinical trials have shown that the plates can decrease food intake and increase food variety. The Israeli Health Ministry has endorsed the product and is considering implementing it as a national program in preschools. The founder, Dror Tamir, has also received support from an unexpected source - a pediatrician with the Ministry of Health in Iran. Tamir has created a version of the product for Persian children and is exploring business opportunities in Iran. Plate my Meal is currently available for purchase in Israel and is in talks with Amazon and leading retailers for wider distribution.
