Samsung Watch Judges Your Salad, Misses Cheez-Its
Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8 has apparently turned into your nutrient-snitching gym coach. With its 'Antioxidant Index' feature, it uses LEDs to scan carotenoid levels under your skin and coaches you on your fruit and veggie intake, demanding you hit 400g daily. As the article dryly puts it, 'Normally, smartwatches donāt make judgments about your nutritional intake.' Oh, but this one does! Now you can get health-shamed right from your wrist while munching on your decidedly antioxidant-deficient Cheez-Itsābecause, newsflash, those cheesy squares apparently do NOT count.

Oh, Iām sorry, did I miss the part where Cheez-Its became a legitimate vegetable substitute? No? Then why is my smartwatch guilt-tripping me while Iām snacking on my āantioxidantsā?
So let me get this straight ā my Samsung Watch 8 scans my thumb to judge my diet but wonāt warn me against dipping Cheez-Its in ranch? Talk about selective enforcement.
Samsungās Galaxy Watch 8 measuring antioxidants like itās the health Hulk, scanning thumbs while Iām over here wondering if my cheese crackers count as microgreens. Spoiler: They donāt.
