But I Don't Want to Sign the Petition

Professionally, Weight Watchers is the only commercial weight loss plan that I have never ragged on. Other than the counting points (calories), it is seems to be an effective & realistic plan. Well, recently they launched an app for kids called Kurbo. Kurbo is intended to document their eating, physical activity, and weight loss in kids as young as 8. And sone parents, nutritionists, & dietitian are upset. Read about it HERE. And other than signing the petition, I can't disagree with the protest.

WW is marketed as a weight loss plan. And even though everyone should eat healthy meals, No one suggests a non-fat person to follow diet plan advice. So, Kurbo will more than likely downloaded to the husky & pretty plus young ones. The first commercial diet I tried was Slim Fast when I was 12 years old.
You know that sensible dinner that is said to eat, well because I knew children are cruel, I ate a sensible lunch. I didn't want the stares, questions, jokes, & teasing that would come with bringing a weight loss shake to school. That was the 90s, can you imagine how that would go over now?

It is not messaging we should teach children. But it is a conversation we, adults need to catapult us in teaching healthy eating lifestyles to our children. It should fuel us to find non-commercial food apps to aid us. We can cancel Kurbo, but what are we bringing on board?
