AHA Gives Wii Seal of Approval

Dr. Richard Besser questions the American Heart Associations endorsement.  From ABCNews on 17 May 2010.








The AHA came up really surprising, what the President of AHA said in the interview clip is not convincing.  What do you think?

...Marketing documents proven to boosts sales, big money for manufacturers and AHA...

@2:03 "Shoppers want clear, simple purchase guidance from trusted source.  The American Heart Association heart-check mark increases product sales because seeing the mark on a package assures shoppers they are making a smart choice."
@ 3:04 "Be an educated consumer, don't count on any logo to make a decision about what's healthy for your family.  If you get an active gaming system, don't assume your children will be getting an exercise.  It's up to you to look at the games that they choose to play."
I strongly agree with Dr. Besser's advice @ 3:04.  I like Wii, but I don't agree with what AHA did :-P
