Playing videogames, and becoming obsessive over them IS a barrier. It's not a myth, they are making children fatter. What needs to happen is balance, and parents need to take responsibility. There's no doubt that banning videogames and making children do exercise, will make them healthier and live longer.

It has nothing to do with England losing against Croatia though lol Well children need exercise, and they need to get involved in sports.
