Perhaps a computer with a sign on it that tells its owner to stop eating
crap like donuts, hamburgers, milkshakes etc. Body exercise burns tiny
amounts of calories in comparison with what you can swallow.
If people are fat they eat too much, period. Computers are very popular
with fatties because they do not favor the athletic. People blaming
computers for obesity confuse consequence for cause.
Ever noticed that most fat kids have at least one fat parent as well?
It's all genetics and eating habits, both of which are hereditary.
