Abstract

People do not give enough importance to how to be fed healthily in the rush of a daily life. More and more, some diseases occur based on bad nutrition. In nutrition and survival struggle, the healthiest and only nutrient that contains all the nutritional values is mother’s milk. A child who gives up the mother’s milk struggles to meet his or her physiological needs for the rest of human life. Throughout history, people also have experienced various decision-making processes. However, the increase in the number of decision criteria leads to a multi-criteria decision-making process. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop an application that aids in finding the optimal food for people to keep a healthy living. This application was developed to change negative food preferences and to continue a healthier, happier, and more peaceful life for people. Food problem choice was solved using multi-criteria decision-making method called PROMETHEE on a web-based platform. Some of the criteria used in the study are fat content, protein content, carbohydrate content, salinity, and cholesterol. Having a different perspective to increase knowledge, awareness levels and living standards of people about nutritional values reveals the most important way of the study.
