McDonald's tries to use video games as a scapegoat

I found this rather interesting.

Quote:
McDonald's UK CEO has a rather... unique take on the child obesity problem...

Steve Easterbrook, McDonald's UK chief executive admits that the food and drink industry is also to blame for child obesity, but the main culprits are videogames:

"Then there’s a lifestyle element: 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.”, says Steve Easterbrook to The Times.

Videogames are more and more successful, but then again, according to The Times, McDonalds is having its best year in two decades. Who's the main culprit? You decide.

And until Wii Fit comes out, you can always try and find a copy of the McDonald's videogame M.C. Kids for the NES.

It seems everyone wants to blame everything on video games. But this is sad, I don't even understand why McDonald's is so obsessed with making people believe their food doesn't make people fat. I thought it was dumb enough that they got rid of super size to try to make themselves look better. Either you eat fast food or you don't, I don't think much anything anyone says will change people's mind about how they feel regarding McDonald's.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
