Do not download this app ? – Kurbo by WW (Weight Watchers) Review

This app is unethical. Decades of research shows that dieting predicts weight GAIN and EATING DISORDERS. CHILDREN are born eating intuitively and should NOT be taught track everything they eat. Their bodies are growing and changing and even the American Pediatric Association now recognizes discussing weight and diets with children is actually HARMFUL and advises against it. Weight Watchers is attempting to make millions by roping the next generation of people to buy into the MYTHS of diet culture. Do not use this app. Instead educate yourself on RESEARCH and teach your family to find joyful ways of moving their body and learn to listen to and feed their bodies in ways that feels good. Teach them to love and accept the natural shape of their bodies and that what matters most IS NOT their weight. I think the worst part of this app is that it tells children they can “make your parents happy” by eating less. This is like handing an adolescent an instruction guide on how to develop a life long eating disorder and it is deplorable and unethical.
