Couch potatoes

I am a fat person, because all I do is sit on my couch and play Wii. That first statement was placed in my blog by a friend to prove that one of the causes of obesity is sitting on a couch playing Nintendo all day. I am no scientist, but anyone is smart enough to realize that staring at a screen all day and consuming an entire bag of Doritos is no healthy. Where’s the sun? Where’s the fresh air? Where’s the carrots and celery? Children have no right to come home and play video games all day. (I don’t care how much movement you get from playing Wii.) Your body needs to be taken out for a walk every once in a while. There is no reason to destroy your beautiful body by becoming a full-time couch potato.
Not only is the couch potato business harmful to your body, but it could also cause damage to your eyes and kill brain cells. The eyes will become tired after staring at a screen all day. The little things can’t handle the stress of focusing for such a long period of time. Plus, your brain cells are slowly dying. Your mind quits thinking after so long and it is not active. Just like the body, brain cells and eyes need exercise. They need a chance to be outside and functioning. The thought of killing your brain cells is terrible. Thou shalt not murder thy brain cells.
Now, I’m not saying that playing Wii and Xbox is a horrible sin. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve played Wii before and think it is really fun. But it is not an everyday activity. Limitations are necessary. Do not be a fat person, because you sit in your couch and play Wii.
