A buzz started a couple of hours ago about a statement made by the boss of McDonald's UK. Apparently he was blaming video games for causing childhood obesity. When you actually read the article it becomes clear that he's merely pointing out that he thinks video game playing contributes to the problem because kids aren't out playing and burning energy (Not sure if that's the energy they get from eating his burgers?). But still, I think the funny thing is that whilst many will suspect that this may well be the case, I'm not too sure that we are prepared to listen to him on this particular matter.
We've known for a long time that the crap they sell at McDonald's does nobodies health any good; OK maybe one or two of their salads are healthy but even they have been accused of not being as healthy as they should.
You'd think after Super-Size Me was released they'd keep quiet about health related issues unless they were positive? Pointing blame at other industries just seems to be a little odd. I wonder if he's ever heard of the Nintendo Wii and it's ability to get both young and old pumping blood and burning calories?
