WW (aka Weight Watchers) created a controversial weight-loss app for kids. Kurbo is geared towards 8-17-year-olds and shows them a ranking of foods’ healthiness by easy-to-understand traffic lights (red means stop, green means eat). A weekly coaching session is also available for a monthly fee. Some are applauding the company for tackling the childhood obesity epidemic head-on, but others see the app as a gateway to disordered eating, not a healthy future. (Newsweek)
