Taken from an article in The Times:
"Encouraging children to use interactive computer games such as the Nintendo Wii is to become part of a public health drive to tackle rising rates of obesity in the young.
A pilot project involving groups of overweight children in the East Midlands, who are being given gaming systems to encourage them to do more physical activity, is to be used as part of a strategy to address sedentary lifestyles.
Highlighting the scheme in his annual report, Sir Liam Donaldson, the chief medical officer, said that video gaming was a major cause of overweight and obesity in children and young adults.
He said that as stopping children playing video games was unlikely, studies and public health strategies were now focusing on the way systems could be used to improve health."
I hate fat people, but surely, you can give them tablets or something, or a bit of liposuction, video cgames are the answer to many of lifes problems(break-ups,. divorces, general unhappiness, boredom, laziness, gaining great hand eye co-ordination)...but not fatties.
