This is NOT for HEALTH – Kurbo by WW (Weight Watchers) Review

This app promotes negative body image, fatphobia, and disordered eating + eating disorders in youth. Parents: let you children know that you love them, spend time with them, hug and cuddle them, provide them with a wide variety of foods to eat (including fruits, veggies, grains, proteins, starches, sugars, whole foods, processed foods, etc.), and encourage them to listen to the hunger and fullness cues their bodies send them. Remind your kids that food will always be available to them but that they can eat something when they’re craving it and that their body is healthy for sending signals of what it needs (hunger/fullness cues and cravings). Restricting your child’s food intake leads the body to respond as if it’s in famine, which will lead to binge eating, feelings of insecurity and body insecurity, and weight GAIN. If your fear is that your child will gain weight by being unrestricted, 1st: examine your personal fatphobia and discriminatory mentality; 2nd: read Health at Every Size by Dr. Linda Bacon; 3rd: your fatphobia aside, do NOT allow your child to download this app, because restriction literally causes more weight gain, which is what you didn’t want in the first place.
