That's what it's all about. They can extend it and suggest me workout routines for $1.99 each through their APP. Better money maker than a fork.No, it would just give you a record of how poor it was.
Got a tip for us?

I would be the first to say this idea is dumb, but a few dozen of you beat me to it, so instead I'm going to be the first to mention the idea may not be as retarded as it sounds:
It takes your stomach time to send signals to the brain that says "All done! I'm not hungry anymore! Stop eating!"
Consider something like eating an appetizer at a restaurant. IDK about you, but personally, when I run out of it, I'm all "I can eat my whole meal still!". Five minutes later I get the meal and I'm like "Eh... hardly hungry anymore... I'll just try some of it now and take the rest home..."
So if the fork is coaching you to eat slower, say, to take ten minutes to eat instead of five, then maybe you'll feel just as full while eating less.
Having said that, I'd rather just use the iPhone's built in timer or something than pay for a retarded looking $100 fork.

No. The idea is as retarded as it sounds. Read a book like "The Art & Science of Low Carb Performance". Our consumption of carbs is completely broken, and no artificial intelligence in a knife, fork, or spoon will fix that. Cut the carbs, and everything will start working far better.
Nice
I want iCondom. At least that would benefit my performance.

The company's next product: A sensor that will run a complex algorithm to tell you if you should far* now or wait a little longer.
No, it would just give you a record of how poor it was.
If you want to know how bad you just were, ask the other party. Most girls will let you know faster than any Bluetooth connection.
This device is rendered useless via a trip to your local Burger King. Most of the worst food available in the US require no utensil at all!
Is it really that hard to type "I don't know"? Especially considering you took the time to type out all the rest of your post.
Lol, no one mentioned about how unhygienic it would be to use the same fork every time you ate something too, even if you did wash it before every meal.
Even worse, I suspect most people here actually use different forks every time they eat something. Even though it's been washed, it was previously used by someone else.
What are you on about? Do you use a brand new fork for each meal? Please dont say yes.
And the soon to be released iToothbrush will start vibrate when not used after the iFork is put aside for 5 minutes ...

This is like buying a heart monitor that only keeps track of when you wake up every day and requires you to enter your heart rate manually.
Haha.....
I want a list of the names of the ...er....um...remarkable consumers
Anorexics maybe??
But a definite 'pass' for me.
