Video games are NOT the cause, but they do (in most cases) contribute to the problem. There are people out there (like you, and myself to an extent) that play video games and watch tv AND still get plenty of good eating in, and get plenty of exercise in. But there are a ton of kids (people) that spend much of their time in front of the tv/video games RATHER THAN exercise. People like you are not a part of the problem. Unfortunately, you are more of the exception. I wouldn't have much of a problem (if any) with video games and tv, IF people still made time to workout, play, and get outside and move more. Keep working! Zach, for the most part I agree with you. Video games are NOT the cause, but they do (in most cases) contribute to the problem.
