How odd
I think its so strange that people blame everything for such problems as obesity except for their own sedentary life styles. For sure the computer and TV etc are part of that, but in the end the reason why so many kids are obese is because they eat to dam much and don't do any exercise.

The use of computers is not to blame for obesity. The number of calories eaten and the lack of exercise, and the fact that Mom and Dad cant be bothered, or are unable, to produce *real* food for consumption is the real problem, but God forbid that we place the blame on the parents or the kids!

People should take responsibility for their lives and stop blaming everything that comes to mind. There is no reason why kids cant use a computer every time they sit down in their room, as long as they do something else besides. The computer does not force them to sit down and use it.

Grow up. Take responsibility. Its you who opens your mouth and shovels in more food. Its you who does not stand up and take some exercise. Blaming an inanimate object is just pathetic.
