No offense, but that article feels kind of stupid to me. Gaming doesn't kill people unless and until you game consecutively for 3-4 days, which is a whole different case. Addiction to gaming is as normal as facebook addiction.
Now, who the hell does these kinds of surveys..?!

Gaming does effect your personal life and mental health. The problems with such addictions is that the long term effects are never observed and difficult to.

Anything that has withdrawal symptoms is bad.

^What about facebook addiction, any law for that? Gaming has side-effects just like every other thing in the world, but at the same time it has it's advantages too. Yes, I'm talking about games like flight simulator, race genres and other FPS-genre games (helps increase hand-eye co-ordination) have their respective advantages. Now, I'm not going to mention it, as long as you're aware of something called...umm..google?

Their entire country's young population is so much into MMORPGs and such that they fear the security of the nation.
The law is already in place and internet providers not following the rule are being penalised.
We are already off topic and even when we discuss gaming if we include Facebook, Smoking, Drinking, etc etc then we are drifting further away from the topic.

What The.... !!!
if i read the infographic corectly,
it says exercise ain't as important as getting up from your chair and talking a lil walk
it makes sure that the nerves in your foot don't go to sleep (being distal from spine)
and walking a bit makes sure your Blood flow doesn't fall below waist and prevents potbelly and other such maladies
bottomline
don't go to gym if you don't like it,
but walk 1 min every half hour or try to stand as much as possible

Actually, a little bit of exercise is very important for healthy living.
Eat less if you dont get time to exercise.

OP
I don't agree with that statement. I think, just abrasively stop eating less food will not help, and also may damage more. But getting control of "certain" type of food may help. Now don't ask me, "what" type, cause I am not a dietitian!

Eating less never does any good. Thats the worst thing to do.
Even relatively fat people need to eat well according to their required dietary allowance. They only need to utilize the energy excess by working out.
You must have come across people reducing their diet into a pittance only to be told in the end that you look like a dead man/woman walking or you look sick or diseased etc etc.

Like me, but I'm not that thin. I can eat to my liking and still not gain a pound. Gaining weight is the last of my concerns..I have come across people who are very thin, but eat a lot but still dont gain weight

Lol I know what you mean by that. I ate like a hog never gained a pound. Maybe coz i'm tall but come on no gain at all.
But now due to back to back exams i'm putting on weight despite no changes in the diet. And its not weight gain in a nice way.
So yeah sitting does seem to turn you into a flab.
