3 - Self Esteem issues are good!

do you really think nintendo didn't do research for wii fit? of course they have advisors. i bet the health expert was labeled overweight and got offended.

people will always blame something else for their own problems.. 'oh wii fit made me ill' ... yeah right.

7 - lol what?
These same people are responsible for making American fat, and overweight in the first place. Now they say something that's is suppose to make for entertainment is a problem? If anything the extra moment that you do with a wii would give a bit of exercise compared to a controller.
