They add chemicals to make it as great tasting as possible, and the combination of high-sugar, low-fiber literally makes it addicting (it's a brain thing, I read in Scientific American). So their hands aren't entirely clean. I agree, the blame should be shared with families and food companies, but I dare say leave video games out of it — games are the new novels, not the new sports.

I find it hard to blame companies for parents letting kids stuff their face with McDonald's, where is the responsibility for the consumers bad choices when they know the food is unhealthy and yet continue to eat it?
