Welcome to this week’s Mix: The power of indirect social proof Apple’s potential disruption of the food industry Systems over goals Childhood obesity and lockdowns A quick note: In the wake of COVID and lockdowns, I feel more compelled than ever to share ideas around health and fitness, particularly for those in Gen X and older.
I agree that development of glucose monitoring as part of the next apple watch will be awesome (when will it come to Garmin?). I don't agree that it will have the paradigm shift you are hoping for. I wish it would. The same could have been said for when nutrition labels were added to food. Or when morning labels were added to cigarettes. It will change the behavior of a few, but many will continue on in the face of data suggesting they shouldn't.

Hi,
I agree that development of glucose monitoring as part of the next apple watch will be awesome (when will it come to Garmin?). I don't agree that it will have the paradigm shift you are hoping for. I wish it would. The same could have been said for when nutrition labels were added to food. Or when morning labels were added to cigarettes. It will change the behavior of a few, but many will continue on in the face of data suggesting they shouldn't.
Thanks for getting me thinking about this.
