Swedes Claim Video Games Make For Fat, Violent Kids - 03/03/04 06:49 AM
Elisabeth Junttila, head of a nationwide association, has said children easily become addicted to video games, and spend all their free time in front of the computer, gorging on junk food.
Frank Lindblad, a child psychiatrist at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, said ". . . it has been proved beyond dispute that people who watch a lot of violence on television develop aggressive behavior."
"They run a very high risk of criminal behavior ... there's a lot suggesting that video games are worse. The border between the virtual reality and the real world becomes diffuse and . . . dangerous."
