Kids Get Fat Watching Television

In a study published in The Journal of Pediatrics, researchers claimed that television has a large influence on choices children make concerning their diets. It's really no surprise that American kids are fat and that television is the biggest influence in there little pudgy lives.

According to a study conducted in 2009, Nielson reported that children ages 2-5 watch about 32 hours and children ages 6-11 watched 28 hours of television each week. That is a lot of time sitting in front of moving colors stuffing their faces with bagel bites. Hell, I almost bought a Slap Chop from watching four hours of infomercial while downing a half gallon of cookies and cream.  - Technorati
