McDonald's UK CEO: Kids are fat because of Video games

[Ricci]

But he made special mention of the popularity of games – and said they have reduced the amount of time young people spend outdoors "burning off energy"... "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."

That's stupid. You can't just reduce a huge complex problem like obesity to one or two causes.

He makes a good point (while conveniently leaving out all the fat in them damn french fries he sellin).
