Are video games responsible for children being lard tubs nowadays?
>>
>>77399408
no
i am a gamer and i also work out
>>
processed food and sugar is the reason and lazy parents that fill their children with poison
>>
being fat has nothing to do with a lack of exercising
it's more of a food problem
i was a NEET for decades and i never got fat. it's because i didn't eat enough food to get fat
i do exercise now due to health issues i was having
>>
>>77399427
i also started working out out of curiosity to see if i can get jacked

>>77399408
No. My kids play videogames, but their screen time is limited and they get plenty of time to wrestle me and have active play time and go outside. Most of their dinners are pretty simple meats and veggies, their snacks are things like fruits and veggies and cheese, plenty of water no soda or anything, usually one small "treat" daily. They get slop occassionally with us and I'm sure probably regularly at school. They're both healthy weights (people might consider my youngest scrawny nowadays but he'd be normal before the obesity crisis, and my oldest probably would have been considered well-fed instead of normal). Teaching them about health so they'll know what to do later is important, but actually enforcing healthy habits is probably key to avoid difficulty long term. And of course leading by example really is a plus to getting those things to sink in. We explain to them explicitly why we make the rules and choices and suggestions we do, like with everything else (no "because I said so" or even simplifications like "because it's good for you"). And you can be a strict no-videogames parent and fuck all that up (like mine did).

children adopt the poor diets of their parents which explains why they tend to die at the same age as their parents

it's possible to stay skinny while eating that crap. i used to eat nothing but microwavable junk food in my teens and 20s
and i would remain thin. i started getting a pot belly in my 30s and i had to stop eating it

i would eat pizza pockets, cheese wheels, lunchables, kid cuisines, etc
i liked the barbeque hot pockets and the pizza hot pockets
>>
>>77399448
It's possible but depends on your natural hunger/satiety cues or level of dopamine-seeking or something. One of our kids will skip whole meals if he isn't feeling hungry, the other wants to eat note just because it's tasty. With the meals/snacks we eat and the guidance we give at them it works out, but if we had a lot of junk or no restraints one would probably stay a normal weight on unlimited pizza and the other would be overweight if not obese on whole foods (as I could).

>>77399408
videogames provide endless sedentary entertainment, but it's up to parents to regulate how much their kids play with them, same with eating junk food. Child obesity is caused by laziness, negligence, and lack of education, video games and slop simply make it much easier for the children that have incompetent parents to get fat

A lot of normal kids are still complete retards on the toilet. These plumpers must be gross as fuck

I'm just going to state that the phrase "binge watching" TV shows has become a socially accepted colloquialism.

I think it starts with lazy foids not breastfeeding their children. My wife breastfed on demand and our kids are tall, lean and muscular despite eating constantly. We see obese 1 year olds and know they were fed on formula.
>>
>>77399955
my brother had a son recently, my sister in law is breastfeeding of course but she told me that only 30% of babies are fed exclusively breast milk in the first 6 months (as guidelines recommend)

I don't know how parents let this happen.

Bro, I grew up in the 90's. People have binge watched TV for decades. They just didn't call it that before you could easily watch back to back episodes of one show.

>being fat has nothing to do with a lack of exercising
it does, muscle is metabolically expensive to maintain, unlike fat

it is, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't exercise too
>>
>>77399432
did you?
>>
>>77399408
Seeing as how video games don't introduce calories to their diet and do not somehow prohibit players from being physically active, no.
>>77399706
You're a faggot and that is quite literally proof. As are the leagues of people who play games and aren't fat. Enough anecdotal evidence to establish a trend becomes empirical evidence. Do you have any idea how many studies are based purely on fucking surveys? Kek.

>>
>>77399408
It's the modern food environment to blame. Large companies bought out food companies, brought scientists in who's entire jobs were to make food as drug-like as possible with regards to your pleasure when eating (bliss-point manufacturing). I don't know why people act like it's a mystery. If scientists had been working for decades to make crack more addictive, and all of a sudden a ton more people are addicted to crack, we wouldn't exactly call that a mystery.
Genetics is basically fixed in this scenario (we're talking obesity rates skyrocketing within a single generation), so the food was crafted to the general population's current genetics. Certainly the fall of physical activity can play a role, but it's nowhere near enough of a driver to explain the current obesity epidemic.
>>
>>77399997
They are lazy and don't care enough to do it for themselves, how could they do it for their children? Most people just want to have sex, kids are an afterthought if even.
>>
>>77400039
Yeah so like I said, sorry you're so upset
>>
>>77399408
It mostly has to do with the amount of food and the amount of exercise. If video games detract from exercise, or cause additional food consumption, they could contribute to obesity.
>>
>>77400081
Sane take
>>
>>77399982
Society really needs to start putting some standards on women again. This tells me 70% of women are so useless they would rather sabotage their own childrens' health than experience minor inconvenience.
>>
>>77399408
Its easy to blame video games but the real culprit are the parents. How often do we see parents shoving a tablet in front of a kid or allowing them to set in front of a screen simply because its the easier then playing with them?

Illogical. The game isn't doing shit, the person playing it is, or the parents of kids aren't setting healthy requirements to be met before playing. If my son wants to play his games, he has to have a certain amount of exercise first. Can earn more time playing with more exercise. Simple as that.

I don't work out. I sit on my ass playing mmos everday but i'm lean because eat only a raw foods diet with no processed food and minimal carbs. Most of my sugar intake comes from raw milk and raw honey so I'm not doing keto or some shit.

cope harder fat cunt you have to work out to compensate for you shit diet. And yes, your diet is shit, maybe not as bad as the people on /fph/ but for you to be in denial of this truth it has to be garbage enough that you need to work out like a slave otherwise the weight stacks on.

science is just a bunch of anecdotal evidence recorded on a piece of paper. maybe send poindexter to run some lab tests on how or why my body is genetically superior and beating all environmental odds by sitting on my ass 16hrs a day if it's not the food i eat.

It's a plot by the Epstein-esque elites to make children too fat to escape being kidnapped.

Helicopter parenting on the rise, overprotective parents don't let their kids go outside unsupervised or bike to school.
Combine that with school sedentarism and the results are evident.
>>
>>77399408
>Are video games responsible for children being lard tubs nowadays?
They're one of the reasons, yes.
>>
>>77401709
Even helicopter parents could walk/bike to school with their kids and be outside with them as they play, even play with them. Wanting their kids to always have adult supervision is not the issue (in this case), not allowing/encouraging the physical activity is.
>>
>>77399408
Bad habits, poor food choices, and food being like crack are why there is childhood obesity. Parents can combat it by giving their children food with satiety and volume. Not buying junk, and feeding them more protein. The kid still will have a propensity to eat more or less food. So that will be on the kid. But being there early and substituting Bad with good will help immensely. ZERO soda. Get them drinking seltzer. If they are eating things like crackers. Make sure they have access to something with protein like orgaine. And even chicken nuggets. And be on top of them about too much snacking. And enforcement of eating dinner/lunch.

>>77402282
For children who live too far away to walk/bike to the school in a timely fashion. Or have disabilities that prevent it.
>>
>>77402316
The correct answer is that parents have jobs that they have to get ready for in the morning.
>>
>>77402411
Nope, that's not why they started picking up kids living in the sticks back when mothers stayed home, and they won't accomodate a parent with a different work schedule or a long commute that conflicts nowadays. Like many things, it is scheduled when it is in order to accomodate parents having a 9-5, but many (most? I won't look this up for you) explicitly WILL NOT pick up a kid who lives within walking distance, whether or not the parent is afraid of them walking/biking alone or not, which is what we were discussing.

Modern diet plans are why you see such obesity, now.
Obesity was possible, in the past (50 years, 100 years, 1000 years)... but it was rare.
It's outright MORE COMMON NOW.

And, again, "modern diet" is the cause. By far.

#1 choice to make to improve your life is to

stop
eating
junk food

Pepsi, Coca-Cola, candy, McDonald's, chocolate, iced cream, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Starbucks...
You HAVE to eliminate it from your life.

It's killing you.
It is killing you.

You have the power to keep yourself alive, happy, and healthy. And junk food is stealing that from you.

Stop it.

>This tells me 70% of women are so useless they would rather sabotage their own childrens' health
Guy, "abortion" is marketed as "moral," now.
Children's health? Female (women) standards?? Why our society stop requiring its citizens to "act better," under the claim of "lol, freedom, lol, I have agency now"... homicide rates exploded and hundreds of millions (planetary BILLIONS) regressed into death.

It's sick.
And "the Internet" laughs it off.
>>
>>77402444
And, throughout ancient (old) history, what were those three "old" examples of "old behavior" described as, for themselves, others, and their society?

I won't wait, I'll just answer my question for you:
"evil"

The behaviors humans have been known to do, like rape, murder, and indulging in vices have
UNIFORMALLY
GLOBALLY
RELIGIOUSLY
been described as "bad" and were fought against. "Don't do those things" is no different today than before.

No, in my theory it is exclusively drinkable sugar (soda, chocolate milk, juice, etc.) that is responsible for 90%+ of obesity in general, childhood and adulthood.
The worst part of fast food is the soda. One "Intense Milk" for example is 400 calories, I can casually drink that in under 5mins, which adds on the pounds like a cheeseburger never could.
All other typical factors of obesity also play a part but none come even close to the liquid sugar question.
>>
>>77409185
>homicide rates exploded
That's extremely untrue. Pic related. Here's one for just the US:
https://www.consumershield.com/articles/murder-rate-by-year
Seems like most people are doomers and shit tons of incels and boomers and jerk off to a golden age that never existed, but the data doesn't lie: nearly every metric shows that the human race has vastly improved over a long period of time.
Even in just our lifetimes, a LOT of shit has improved even if everyone thinks everything sucks ass more now.
