It's Only Ten Bucks A Month, Though

Reader Amy alerts us to the existence of something called MyFoodPhone. Using your camera phone, you take pictures of your food before you eat it, and the pictures are then analyzed by "nutrition advisors" who give you "personalized video feedback" on your eating choices.

Okay, this makes no sense. Is this even real? Number one, how the hell can you tell what ingredients are in something based on a picture? Number two, clearly by the time you get your "video feedback," you've already eaten whatever it was you just took a picture of. Number three... I don't know, it's just dumb. Maybe someone who isn't me can see the point of this seemingly pointless service.

To make money from idiots who think it will somehow help them control their weight?

As it is, I already photoshop myself thinner in every digital pic I take of myself. (If one has mad photoshopping skills, one must use them for ass-lessening Good, not Evil!)

So then I'd have to photograph my food, and what? Photoshop it as well? So I can be even MORE in denial? ;)
