I doubt it has to do with privacy, have you seen how many selfies are out there with food shots and stuff? Plus, such studies could be funded to give people money for tracking this.
I believe the problem isn't with privacy but just that it is difficult to keep notes of what you eat daily. Make a product that makes monitoring what you eat very easy to do and you can get more data that's solid. What Apple did with HealthKit did in fact help, we just need more of that. I know a buddy who lost weight easily because of a smartwatch (Apple Watch) that he uses to monitor his input because it is so easy and quick.
- miguelrochefort 9y agoPeople should be more serious about nutrition. It's impossible to track and test nutrients if you're not disciplined about it. Ideally, you would only eat what you (or a coach, or an app) planned to eat. Most people should have a nutrition routine where they eat the same thing every day or week. Eating for pleasure should be the exception, not the norm. Tracking only the 5% of food that's not part of your routine would be a lot easier (especially if packaged and provides a bar code).
- goldfeld 9y agoNo, people should be less neurotic about their nutrition, eat less, and let go. Don't over think it or put up barriers to health.
- miguelrochefort 9y agoMost people are not qualified to feed themselves.
- chiefalchemist 9y agoAgreed. Food is for nutrition. Instead we've made it into some sort of proxy for an orgasm. Yet ask people what they ate yesterday and they're likely unable to tell you. Point being, they we're so determined to eat something that "made them feel good" that they already forgot. So instead they should have ate for their body, not their mind. Pardon me, but I really think there's some truth to "fat and stupid."
