Hey guys Diamonddozen here! I haven't posted for DiamondBlog in a while (three days), so I figured I would post now as I had this amazing idea for a blog.


Introduction...

You've seen it everywhere! People are blaming obesity on video games. Lots of cases are even being blamed on Minecraft. This blog is going to prove why it's not just about video games.

Diet...

Let's talk eating habits. When a child is a baby a parent can already conclude if it's going to be a picky eater or not. They can't conclude, however, how much the baby is going to eat. You are blaming it all on video games, but really you are the partly to blame. You are the ones putting your children through these horrible diets of Cheeseburgers and Hotdogs. Do you even know what a hotdog is made out of? Here are the ingredients that I looked up.

Ingredients:
  • Mechanically Separated Turkey
  • Pork
  • Water
  • Corn Syrup
  • Beef
  • Salt
  • Potassium Lactate
  • Sodium Phosphates
  • Flavourings
  • Beef Stock
  • Sodium Diacetate
  • Sodium Erythorbate
  • Maltodextrin
  • Sodium Nitrate
  • and Extractives of Paprika

All those plus some types of hotdogs have even been found to have traces of rat in them. That's just one of the many foods that you don't know the ingredients. For instance ketchup. I'm not going to list the ingredients of ketchup, but it's very bad for you. So is one of the reasons of obesity.

Daily Routine...
Video games can be a problem if your daily routine is all video games. If your child (or you. You know who I'm talking to) is sitting on the computer or couch all die you're going to have a problem. Get out once in a while. I recently did my own study. I proved a fact that you actually get more exercise laughing and yelling with friends then you do sitting at the computer typing. So go hang out with your friends under some loud music. Busted ear drums are better than not being able to walk. Literally if you are at a friend's house and the music is so loud you have to yell to your friend who is beside to you are actually going to loose some calories due to your body muscles having to work harder to give the vibrations we know as talking.
Video Games...
Yes I am being a hypocrite here. First I say that video games aren't the problem. Actually I said video games aren't the whole problem. Though it is true. Video games are a source of obesity. However there are a lot of skinny video gamers. So you cannot tell me that if you play video games you will be fat. Their are fat people who don't play video games at all. How do you explain that? Basically what I'm saying is that there are many things that can be re-routed to obesity. Video Games is one of them, but not all of them.

I play video games , except you are right , video games can get you addicted to them and all you do is play them , and when you don't do any athletics , it lacks exercise , then when you are sitting there on you're bean-bag chair stuffing you're fat face with popcorn , and playing madden NFL saying that you are an athlete , think about it. it is not healthy..

As much as I don't agree with your views on Video Games, I will leave a diamond. Mainly because Obesity is a huge problem (No pun intended).
