some studies in both children and adults have found an association between the number of hours of television watched and obesity, moreover, a study found that watching television decreases the metabolic in children to below that found in children at rest, so what are you thinking about ?

I think tv does influence our health. I didn't watch much TV as a kid. I was always out playing, swimming, etc. I hear on the news about the increase in obesity among children. I think it's sad that there are commercials that say have you child get up and play an hour a day. Parents should be encouraging their children to watch less TV and be more active.

I think that watching TV has a lot of bad influence on people! Wathching TV takes us a lot of time ,maybe it takes the time that we should use it to do important things!Maybe we will not have time to take sports,and it is not good for us if we do not take enough sports.On hte other hand ,we would have little time to communicate with our relatives and friends! it is so bad! For children,watching Tv is not good for their study!
