Hey @PokemonGoApp, this is a kids' game, are you sending these unsolicited calorie competitive push notifications to everyone? It's completely inappropriate. I don't want to see it. #PokemonGO #bodypositive #dietculture #strongnotskinny 
Calorie counting begins at younger and younger ages, particularly in girls, and correlates far better with teenage obesity and disordered eating (one of the most fatal mental health issues) than adult good health. This is a very poor decision indeed. Please reconsider.
"you adventured really far this week!" would be a vastly better word choice. #PokemonGO #caloriecounter
Folks, if this concerns you too, please also tweet / speak out / make a fuss. Children in particular are at risk from poorly thought out messages like this, but also as one of millions of adults in perpetual recovery from #eatingdisorders, I need to be able to opt out of this.
Wondering if @bodyposipanda_ could signal boost this too? A big yes to celebrating adventuring and moving your body, a hard NO to 'calories burned' push notifications on children's games.
Help me get them to reconsider, friends?
