Well looks like video games catch the short end of the stick once again, in the UK one of the McDonald’s big wigs says that video games over the last few years have led to the rise in children becoming fat.
Talking to the London Times, McDonald’s UK chief executive Steve Easterbrook said games are part of a “lifestyle element” that has led to a rise in childhood obesity. “There’s fewer green spaces and kids are sat home playing computer games on the TV when in the past they’d have been burning off energy outside,” he said.
I am sure that eating a Big Mac with enough fat and calories to clog an adult horses heart has nothing to do with it at all? First video games can make you lose weight and now they make you fat, the industry experts really needs to make their minds up. I am pretty sure that eating a supersized french fry will make me fatter than playing Mario.

PUSH UPS, SIT UPS, and RUNNING for maybe 1 hour a day 3 days a week. Mcdonalds is not to blame nor video games for getting fat. Work out and lose some weight. Everybody wants someone or something to blame stuff on when you should be blaming yourself. EAT HEALTHY. Going to MCD’s 10 times a week cant be good for ya
Wow, go mcdonalds, lose one I.Q. point for every pound served
If Hilary Clinton wins the presidency, I’m blaming video games too.
