In recent years, a new category of drugs have appeared in the market. These drugs claim that they are designed for our body health, and are named “recreational drugs”. Recreational drugs are drugs that “re-supply” sustenance to our body or improve the physiological function of our body. A newspaper clipping from “Mingpao Daily” reported that there are 1.29 millions of people in Hong Kong who have been taking recreational drugs. That means there is 1 out of 6 people who has taken those drugs. Hong Kong is a very crowded and busy city, people even do not have time to keep a normal diet. And thus, many people think that by taking recreational drugs, they can maintain a healthy life. Taking “medicine” has become more prioritize rather than normal diet.
The aim of this project “Happy Meal” is to question about people’s behavior on recreational drugs. The project is called “Happy Meal” because when people take those drugs, they believe those drugs will make them healthier. After taking those drugs, they seem to become healthier, and this satisfaction makes them “happy”. So they feel that there is no need to have normal diet.
保健食品近年在本港其門如市。據政府統計處推算，全港有一百二十九萬人於過去一年間曾服用保健藥物；即代表平均六個人當中就有一人有這個「服藥」的習慣。這類藥物通常是針對人們的身體健康而設，為身體補充營養、改善身體機能、或預防疾病。由於都市人生活急速，很多時候都未能如時用膳，所以很多人都希望透過服用保健藥物來維持健康。
“Happy Meal”希望提醒人們對保健藥物的關注。作品取名為“Happy Meal”，是因為人們在服用這一類藥物覺得身體會變得健康，因而覺得滿足及快樂，同時不需要進行正常膳食。也許那些愛「服藥」的人，並不知這只是一個自我安慰的行為。
