Can’t believe this is actually a thing. – Kurbo by WW (Weight Watchers) Review

Let me start by saying that I’m all for healthy eating and people being aware of what is going into their bodies, however, this is not the most ideal way of doing it. This app is just an eating disorder/body dysmorphia waiting to happen and it’s especially worrying that it’s marketed towards children, who are extremely impressionable. This type of obsession is the reason people have body image issues when they grow up, why I have them for example. Like I said, I fully support healthy eating, but that should be up to the parents to encourage, not an app that assigns traffic light colors to different foods, instilling the idea that if you eat x type of food, that you’ll gain weight and be “ugly”. Being exposed to different diets as I was growing up did so much more harm than good and this app is definitely not a step in the right direction!
