Video games and obesity

I think that childhood obesity is getting way too out of hand today. Most of that has to do with the diet that kid's are used to and the foods that they are eating every day of their lives, but I also think that the lack of exercise that children are getting can lead to the problem of obesity. An article shown in Obesity Research states that a study found that children who play video games excessively may double their risk of obesity. I feel that this needs to turn around fast or there will be major health problems for these children later in their lives. With all of the video games advancing as fast as they are, it does not look like the conditions will get any better in the near future.
