Fat politics video game?
I’ve just been sent a link to a videogame said to be about the politics of nutrition. The game supposedly explores the relationships between obesity, nutrition and socioeconomics in the United States. I can view the trailer but can’t get it downloaded on the computer I’m currently using. I’m curious to see what it’s like? Interesting? Useful? For what age groups? Give it a try? Thanks!
