i would agree with that, i think its whacky to equate physical health with productivity.
not only that but, another gripe i have with the show is that when it comes to addiction i would say theres a huge difference between a physical addiction to a drug, that would kill you if you were to cut out that drug completely, and being mentally addicted to an activity like video games. stuff like sex addiction and video game addiction are much less of a problem to a person and society as a whole than drug addiction.
to see them being treated by the exact same people and with the exact same methods is laughable. but then again thats why i watch this show.
