Both – Wood and Plastic have their own positive and negative points.
People avoid wood to save trees but we can’t say Plastics Eco Friendly. I am in the business of plastic though I personally believe that.

In holland everybody cycles everywhere. Obesity is much less of an issue there and the government saves billions on healthcare costs. In fact, there is universal health insurance because it is actually affordable with such a healthy population.

America would do well to encourage cycling in the big cities, which would go some way to reducing the need for oil. However, the government needs to create cycle lanes etc. to make it safe.

The government could also tax gasoline consumption more or big engine cars, or subsidise greener fuels. However, these are kind of distorting the working of a free market.

Well, "violent" has nothing to do with the issue here. The issue youre talking about is just "video games" themselves.

Yes, speaking from experience video games can increase obesity, shorten attention spans, and desensitize someone to violence. It can also lead to under-developed social skills and coping mechanisms.

I love playing video games, especially violent video games, but one must understand that its best to do it in moderation.

studies show video games DO NOT actually cause obesity…

a lack of exercise and/or unhealthy eating habits cause obesity

video games are just one of a list they like to pick on along with things like the internet and general television because people who spend all their spare time doing these activities funnily enough are not spending that time exercising.

neither. Parents cause child obesity. Dont buy the twinkies and junk food. Cook healthy meals instead of going to McDonalds or any fast food. Dont let the child snack late at night when watching tv. Dont have pop in the house. Make them drink water or if you do have pop then have diet caffeine free pop.

Some games have check points, and some you can only save at the end of a level.

He can pause the game and come back to it later, though.

Why don't you two do stuff together? You play with him for 1/2 hr, then he comes outside with you for 1/2 hr, and then he can get back to him game.

video games are not responsible, kids choose to do this. i remember all i did was go outside and play when i was little. but as soon as i had that ps1 in my room, i stopped. its all about choice. i don't think video games should be blamed. you also have to think about all the fast food restaurants that are on every block of america- its crazy. we're just moving a different cultrue i guess
