Childhood Obesity: It's Not the Amount of TV, It's the Number of Junk Food Commercials

Nuanced knuckleheads.
The association between television viewing and childhood obesity is directly related to children's exposure to commercials that advertise unhealthy foods, according to a new UCLA School of Public Health study published in the American Journal of Public Health.
As if a kid (or adult) could gain a single gram from the act of watching TV, no matter the content.

It is the Calories, you nuts and flakes out West.

Need to test this?

Get a cross-section of kids. Divide them into two groups. Have them watch TV. Have one group see more commercials than the other. In fact, make one group watch ALL commercials.

Then feed them a controlled number of Calories, equal between the groups.

See if one group gets fatter than the other.

I will bet on the outcome.

Will you?

Idiots.

And this is from a University.

What a sad comment on "higher" education.
