oh so very true spec....let me get off on a rant here....
I would venture to guess that gamers as a group are less overweight by percentages.
Now, gamers are very noisey and all but there are no more then 10 million of us. There are 300 some odd million people in the US, even if 100% of gamers were obese it would not have a huge impact in the % of obese americans.
As always the politions are clueless and blame the evil "gamers" instead of looking at the more obvious problems being, fast food (McHealthy anyone?), TV (ZERO interaction plus sucks up WAY more time then games, which have a end), and how about the fact that money for after school programs/parks/music/art/etc (alternatived to video games) are almost non-existant today. This leaves todays kids with less options to do which are active.
oh yeah (sorry for the rant) another thing about gamers is our age group teens through mid/later 20's. IMO we are younger and have much more active metabolisms then older people who sit at work all day stuffing their faces with fast food frys.
ummm...let me end this rant with this.
Politions are nothing more then old men who blame whoever their largest $$$ contributer says to blame and are completely clueless about everything in life, except for lying to the publics face.
<----- Skinny as fuck and a gamer
Nave a nice day
