McDonald's tries to use video games as a scapegoat

In McDonald's defense, they've really been trying to hit the health-conscious market for the past several year. Salad shakers, chicken salads, wraps, yogurt, bottled water, stuff like that. But when the burgers and fries make up the majority of their sales, they still pander to the ever-expanding waistline of the world. Quite similarly, many game companies are now trying to cash into the health circuit, with stuff like Wii Fit, Wii Sports, and any number of eye toy/motion dance and aerobics games, but when standard sit-n-play stuff still makes up the bulk of the market, kids can't help be be lethargic when they play enough of them.

The thing is, McDonalds and games are both fine if they're not taken to excess, just the same way eating and sitting every day in intervals won't magically make you fat. People need to take their weight gain to a personal level and stop playing the blame game on their own misjudgments. There's no single, end-all be-all cause for obesity, and while games and fatty foods can be a direct component, its the amount of time a person invests in either that makes a big difference.

How ya doing, buddy?
