Perhaps “kernel” was too small a word.

What a stupid thing for the author of this article to say, because intelligent people don’t get into businesses with “18 similar apps vying for market share.”

Thus, there is more than just “*a kernel* of truth in what Luberoff says”. Add exercise and healthy eating to the list too. Have you ever seen the junk food at most start ups (donuts, pizza, beer)? Sedentary lives add to high BMI and obesity. The image of obesity is the antithesis of “lean startup”. The author of this article could have done much more with this story but instead it looks like link bait.
