Anyone else feel like the google maps mini cupcake feature reinforces the idea that all exercise must be atonement for the sin of eating?

body images. Useful info for some? Sure. Make it optional, and don't contribute to making food even more shame-y (e.g. the cupcake idea).

Do they realize how extremely triggering something like this is for ppl who have had eating disorders? Not to mention just generally shamey
