I've been making games for about 5 years now. During this journey, the evil 'games' caught my
attention. These evil games are video games that are developed by big
fast food companies to brain wash little children into liking their
junk-food.
Studies have shown that these games increase children's consumption of junk-food by 56%. This is an alarming statistic.
"You believe it or not, but as you read this webpage, a child dies due to Child Obesity because of the landscape of food we've built around them."
Gaming is quite a powerful tool, and I
wanted to use this incredibly powerful tool to make a change in this
world. Save these innocent children's lives and protect the Earth from
deadly obesity crisis.
I'm currently developing a game that is
just the opposite of "evil" games. Studies show that the game I'm
creating have the potential to increase kid's fruits and vegetables consumption and reduce fast food consumption.
Unfortunately, the time allotted to me by
TED was too slim to make the talk more emotional and persuasive. So, I tried to make it funny.
Be sure to rate the talk using the stars on the right.
Why are we letting preventable dieases such as diabetes, cancer, obesity wipe the world out? Why?
It's alarming that most American kids
can't recognize fruits and vegetable's name. The journey of a thousand
miles begins with a single step. A small game can cause so strong impact
on children that they can finally understand and learn about healthy
foods and can differenciate between them.
