This isn't really a plus for society. Medical care for those gamers who reach adulthood will tax the rest of us heavily.

I agree. While we're at it, we should stop people from reading, watching movies, coding, painting, or any other activity that involves them being inactive and placing a burden on society.

This is a silly argument. Damage to a person's health in the pursuit of their interests is in no way unique to gaming. Likening gaming to watching porn is exactly as valid as likening it to any of the examples listed above.

It's type 1. I beleive they're doing it by inserting insulin - producing cells that won't get caught by the immune system.

You do realize that diabetes is often a genetic disease linked in no way to obesity, right?
