WEIRD: Lose Weight with one touch

In a digital world, even weight can be shed in one touch – but only virtually, and in the form of a ‘selfie’. SkinneePix can trim 2-6kg of virtual fat for a slimmer look, but it has already raised concerns about health and body-image issues. The co-founder of the app describes how cameras usually add additional weight to photos, prompting people to complain that the photo isn’t an accurate representation of themselves. The creators of the controversial app also claim that is has motivated users to lose weight.
