Google Glass could be the virtual dieting pill of the future

This has nothing to do with Google Glass. The article describes an augmented reality system. Glass is not AR -- you don't look through it. It's just a display that is unobtrusively visible in a small part of your vision.

I don't see why somebody can't build an AR app using Google Glass.

Because you'd need hard AR to do dynamic cookie-increasing, and neither Google Glass nor anything else on the horizon can do that. Michael Abrash explains it better than I can:

The way Glass sits on your face would not allow this, danellis is correct.

Maybe if you bought two glasses and flipped one and put them on a frame? The user could "learn" to look through it just like one would use bifocals.
