Pro trainer: Dodge calling your kids fat, let Wii Fit do it instead

shuandrew | June 13, 2008 | Blog | Wii 
There has been a lot of controversy over Wii Fit and its BMI measurement scale's accuracy with kids, but that hasn't put off Diet.com. They recommend using the device to let your kids know they're fatties instead of telling them yourselves.
It's not the kind of thing you'd expect a site like Diet.com to advise, but in its video review for Wii Fit, the trainer featured recommends that purchasing the game to break the news of your child's obesity is the way forward, especially if you don't have the heart to do it yourself.

    As with no fatties, no pussies. If my children were obese, I'd break the news to them in a heart beak, no use in watching my child become unhealthy...

    video games should NEVER be used in place of parenting. if you kids are fat, stop feeding them so much.

    When you say that you "exercise", that doesn't mean that you do Wii fit every day. Wii fit is just something that tells you your body condition.

    Next thing you know there's going to be a game to tell your kids about sex, nobody's going to notice it's made by Michael Jackson. Hey, as long as it saves the parents the trouble of teaching their kids themselves, who cares.

    "My child was bound to find out eventually, I think it's good they learned in an environment they are comfortable with." Says the parent.

    It's your job to teach your kids these things, tell them if their diet is unhealthy and if they are overweight, tell them. Don't rely on a video game to do your job for you.
