Gamers - fat, old and depressed

Or is that just par for the course in Seattle?
Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found gamers were more unhealthy, fat and unhappy compared those who didn't play games.

The research carried out by interviewing 500 adults between 19 and 90 in the Seattle area found that 45 percent of those polled played videogames. Results were based on respondents own perception of their happiness and health.

Unsurprisingly the female gamers felt they were unhappier and unhealthier, while the males were on the whole really fatter.

I would call the research nonsense, but I am fat and old. But at least my new little baby boy stops me being remotely depressed.
