Games don't make kids fat says study

[Tinman]

I think that's the key indicator here. Did the study take into account what kinds of games they played and whether or not their gaming habits were well-balanced with studying and 'real life?'

I don't trust these studies >.<'

Oh, and while gaming might not make kids fat, it raises a curiosity actually sparked by this line:


How many gamers (as opposed to say, people who work desk jobs like accountants, secretaries, etc) are at risk of back pain and spinal damage due to bad posture (read: Postural Kyphosis)?



Just a thought

Absolutely. My point was more that many would expect kids who spend their recreational time playing games as opposed to competing fun activities, such as sport, swimming, riding bikes, would be more likely to be overweight.

On a side note, I think my posture is probably most accurately captured as alternating between the top right and bottom left image, while I will occasionally revert to the top left for those WTF moments.
