Video Game Aims to Fight Childhood Obesity
CHARLESTON, West Virginia (AP) — West Virginia, which has one of the nation's worst obesity problems, is expanding a project that uses a video game to boost students' physical activity.
All of the state's 157 middle schools are expecting to get the video game "Dance Dance Revolution," and officials hope to put it in all 753 public schools within three years. A pilot project began in 20 schools last spring.
Alas, the expected corollary — that Movable Type would help fight adult-onset paunch — is sadly untrue.
