Food is more than sustenance. It is a basic need, a cultural practice, and a personal experience that connects body, mind & soul.
👉 We believe: Nutrition influences how we feel – awake, well & productive.
The nutrition of the future combines enjoyment with responsibility, for our health and that of the planet.
Sustainability & Plant-Based
Focus on environmentally friendly cultivation methods and plant-based nutrition conserves resources and reduces emissions.
More Fruits, Vegetables & Legumes
These foods form the basis of a healthy, sustainable diet, rich in essential nutrients.
Regional & Seasonal Foods
Support for local producers, short transport routes, and enjoyment of fresh, nutrient-rich products.
With Bellies®, Stella Moses offers people the best alternative to unhealthy fast food.
  • Healthy, delicious, mobile & suitable for the masses
  • Core product of a Food-&-Wellbeing ecosystem

Fast Food: Poor Solutions
According to UNICEF, by 2025, for the first time, more children will be obese than underweight.
More than 30 million adults and 6 million children in Germany suffer from overweight and obesity due to fast food. The consequences include type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, depression, and cancer.
👉 Overweight children are more often absent from school, struggle with self-esteem issues, and are more frequently exposed to bullying.
💸 Exploding Healthcare Costs
Affordable food is "paid for" with illness, loss of energy, and reduced productivity.
→ €112 billion in follow-up costs annually in the EU
🥫Nutrient-Poor Products
Food products on the street, in supermarkets, and in canteens are full of sugar, inferior fats, and bad carbohydrates.
→ 80% of snacks in supermarkets are ultra-processed
📦 Advertising Deceives
Established fast food providers conceal information about the chemical composition of their products.
→ 90% of customers do not know what substances the products contain
"If you want your child to thrive in this life, you should give them love, self-confidence, and healthy food. This excludes beatings, humiliation, and McDonald’s." (Dr. Tim Spector)
