Forage

From your biology to your basket.

Your household's food, already decided and in the cart. Forage is the action layer on top of your health data — not a test, not a diet, not a clinic.

Where our facts come from

Every nutrition note in Forage traces to one of these sources. If we can't ground a claim, we leave it out — we'd rather say less and be right.

The honest bits

  • • Grocery pricing, availability, and ordering are simulated in this demo.
  • • We never guess a store's restock schedule — unknown means unknown.
  • • Kids get variety and sufficiency, never restriction. Their pediatrician is the real scoreboard.
  • • "Organic" describes how food is grown — we don't claim it's medically healthier.
  • • Fueling numbers are ballpark ranges, never targets.

Legal & your data

Interim versions, in effect while attorney review completes. Your data controls (export, delete, health-data consent) live in Household.

Forage is about everyday food, not medical advice. For health questions — especially for growing kids — your doctor or a registered dietitian is the right forager to ask.
