When I watch TV I like to eat snack in the same time.Some people said that it's a bad habit and it make people get fat sometimes.But I think it's tedious if there is no snack by my side when watching TV.What do think about this?Do you think it's a bad habit?

Yes it probably is bad for us, but I dont care enough to make a conscience effort not to eat while I watch TV :p I think the reason its considered bad for us is because when you eat in front of the tv you are burning less calories, and you are not sitting up straight, so the food is harder to digest and such. As long as your not a couch potato I wouldnt worry too much about it!

Thats a good idea. If you are prepared in advance then what you eat wouldnt be very harmful to your body. Like you said, fruit would be a good idea, or like those veggie trays, with some sort of dip to go with them. Enjoy your TV shows!

Well, sometimes I do eat snack when I'm watching TV, it depends whether I feel like eating or not. Perhaps it's a bad habit, as someone will really grow fat by sitting there and eating. But, I don't really care about this, I just enjoy doing it, as it doesn't harm anyone else. Also, I don't keep eating non-stop, I eat a bit. I think it's really fine for me.

Hello,kaka,this morning I first sign in my lot,and I am so happy when seeing your response.I think we usually do something just for pleasure.If it make us happy why don't do it?In fact,being happy is very good for health too.Moreover we are temperance,so it doesn't matter.

I like eating snacks while watching TV, it gives me immense pleasure and thrill.. Eating more snacks and watching TV in bad light and more than about 2 hrs, is the bad for health......
