Bluntly? I think that their enormous gut handles that pretty well on its own.
First let me note that I could stand to lose some weight, myself. But, as WBill Jr. gets a little older, something that I've noticed amongst the kids in his school is how *overweight* they are. Not just a few pounds here and there, or a short handful of big kids. Nope, these kids are fat. Waaaaaay fatter than any kids in my generation.
I blame lack of parental supervision (or parental OVER supervision). Where we were outside running around, biking, playing ball, etc ... these kids are either twiddling a IPhone, or stuck inside waiting for the next parentally sanctioned playdate, or both.
All that being said, I think that this wristband is a horrific idea. Nanny statism gone wild. Kids would be better served by having to ditch the IPad and go outside or to a gym or whatever, to run around for an hour a day.

That,of course,is the answer but there’s no grant money for a solution like this.
They will “study” this problem forever but solve nothing.
