Yes, he said that playing can cause “diabetes”
Domino Enclosure.- A senator compared video games with the addiction to cigarettes and, obviously, the subject is a boomer and Morena.
Within the framework of the “discussion” to impose new taxes on the video game industry (which has already been approved), Manuel Huertasenator from Veracruz, criticized gaming by putting it in the same group of products harmful to health, along with sugary foods and tobacco.
“When a cigarette is cheap, a teenager can buy it. When a sugary drink is sold cheaper than water, this drink ends up in school lunch boxes. “When the most accessible video games are those that glorify violence, our sons and daughters get used to the fact that this is how life is,” mentioned the guy who probably still says “Nintendo” to all the consoles.
This legislator is terrified of video games
This entire tirade was to justify the measure of imposing taxes on these products, which was already approved despite popular discontent.
“Then come heart problems, cancer, anxiety, depression, childhood obesity, diabetes (sic) type 2… and the emotional and economic cost is not covered by companies. It is covered by a grandfather who sells the little he has, a mother who stops working to care for her sick child, a health system that must respond with what it does not have.“added the legislator who, with all certainty, has never participated in a single basketball game in his life.

“That is why this ruling proposes very clear measures: taxes on video games with violent and extreme content, because not all fun is healthy, and the State must prevent violence from being normalized in childhood,” finally concluded the little monkey whose only fun must be getting together with other boomers to play dominoes.
And to be up to date: some IMSS doctors made fun of a patient, and this is how it went on the networks.
