I don't think they're completely resposible. Yeah, they can contribute---if you let them. But it's exactly like the fast food thing; if you can control yourself, put limitations on it, then no problemo. It's all about self-control---which kids these days seem to have very little of, and are paying the consequences. I play video games, and I'm fine. Although I, personally, may not like the weight I'm at, in the back of my mind I know I'm right where I should be for my height.

We're so fat because we have things done so easily for us, today. We don't really have to do anything ourselves anymore---go out and milk the cows, walk everywhere we need to go, get up out of our seat to turn off the tv...and we get minimal exercize. Keep in mind, I'm only generalizing. I know that the entire population doesn't follow this.

BOTTOM LINE: Video games themlseves are NOT to blame for own obesity. We need to step up, and take responsibility for our actions.
