From ArsTechnica:
Today I decided to conduct an experiment. I started calling people I knew, and asking if they had one or more video games in the house. Then I asked if they breast-fed their children. To my great shock, most answered "yes" to both. One couple I contacted switched to formula after their child's birth, and told me that they didn't play video games. The data, based on my first round of calls, was conclusive: if you play video games, you are much more likely to breast-feed your children.
The story you won't hear, because it doesn't sell, is that as gaming gets more popular violent crime has gone down. "The reality is that...as violent video games have become more prevalent, violent crimes have decreased dramatically. This is true both for police arrest data, as well as crime victimization data," an article in the Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling stated. The data is striking.
