Computer Vision: The vOICe SCAN of My Mostly-VEGAN Breakfast. (screen-recording video)

Hello World! For this blog post, I decided to combine two of my ongoing SCIENCE projects, Computer SCIENCE and Food SCIENCE! ☺️

My mostly-VEGAN breakfast consists of two baked hash browns, VEGAN burger patty, cheese and two VEGAN sausages. — Yesterday, I consumed two hash brown cheese burgers! ☺️

The above video is a screen recording performed on my Xiaomi Redmi 9T Android smartphone at 800×480 pixels, 15 frames per second at 4 megabits per second. The app I am using, is called The vOICe, augmented reality for BLIND & Vision-Impaired persons, such as myself. — That’s Computer Vision (Computer SCIENCE)! ☺️

Now for the Food SCIENCE part of this blog post: Having REPLACED “red meat” (beef) and pork with VEGAN alternatives, I have personally-experienced HEALTH BENEFITS! ☺️ Actually, MANY health benefits! Besides improved digestion, stress-reduction (anxiety-control) and pain-reduction from osteoarthritis, to name a few. Daily, my poultry consumption is strictly limited, whereas my vegetable consumption is increasing! — Imagine, I used to be an all-meat, no vegetables man for over 40 years! ☺️

No, I am NOT a medical doctor NOR a nutritionist, however, I am a lifelong scientist since 1977 with medical research skills in human anatomy and pharmacology, and I know my own human body, monitoring & memorizing how my body changes & adapts to changes in a multitude of variables, such as food intake, fluid consumption, digestion, respiratory, etc. ☺️

With past food preparation skills, from working in restaurants in the USA during the 1990s, and having had a Filipino father with extensive cooking experiences, I was able to, successfully-educate my Filipina wife & her sister, on HOW to prepare the food I choose to eat! ☺️ Though, when I had eyesight, I never prepared nor cook vegan food products before, so I just inform my wife & her sister to read the package label, and, as a result,they both enjoy vegan food, too! My mother-in-law also likes the vegan food I consume! ☺️ Sure enough, my home does smell like Burger King or Wendy’s restaurants after my hash brown cheeseburgers are prepared! ☺️

Thanks for reading my latest blog post! Please click the Like button and share this blog post into your social media accounts! The developer of The vOICe app is already authorized for sharing my The vOICe screen recordings into his YouTube account. If I get many Likes for this blog post, I’ll make more, yet with higher quality, if requested. Please Comment as my half-BLIND, low-vision wife helped me aim my phone for the recording, thanks in advance!

Have a Great Day! ☺️
