Irresponsible – Kurbo by WW (Weight Watchers) Review

Children are born intuitive eaters. We steal that gift from them when we tell them which foods are good or green and bad or red. Foods such as avocado are nutrient rich and provide healthy fats and should not be limited or avoided if someone enjoys them. There is something called habituation and the more a child is exposed to a food- like cupcakes- the less they are going to want them. If you tell them a cupcake is bad or a red food, psychologically and biologically, the child is going to want that food even more, binge on that food when it’s available, and then feel guilty for eating it. This app is setting kids up for a lifetime of disordered eating behaviors, as well as increasing their risk of developing full blown eating disorders. Kids are more likely to develop an eating disorder than diabetes. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and should be celebrated, not controlled. This app is irresponsible, dangerous and needs to be pulled.
