Childhood Obesity is Partly due to Videogames: says McDonald’s UK Boss

According to McDonald UK’s head though “the issue of obesity is complex,” a fair share of blame for Britain’s overweight children should be attributed to videogames too.
TimesOnline quotes Steve Easterbrook, chief executive of McDonald’s UK, “There’s fewer green spaces and kids are sat home playing computer games on the TV when in the past they’d have been burning off energy outside.”
Further on, the 41-year-old stated that the government, the food and drink industry, and individuals constitute to the “three pillars” that need to work cohesively to combat the key issue of obesity. Easterbrook is fulfilling his corrective duty by increasing the menu choice and offering more options to the customers, along with decreasing the sodium, sugar, and trans fat levels in McDonald’s food.
