Is Weight Watchers A Health Care Company?

In this blog we view things from a health care standpoint, and an interesting issue has come up. Is Weight Watchers now a health care company? They seem to have changed their point system, refocused on healthier foods. The health implications of successful long term weight loss are wide ranging. It will be interesting to follow how people do on the new version of the plan. People for years have said that WW was the only thing that worked for them, and any increase in their overall success rate could have an impact on the overall health profile of the US. Especially with their new focus on plant based foods.
