Many of us r too engrossed in tv that we spend most of our time before it.Recent researches have proved that this is not good for health,ESPECIALLY WHILE EATING.When we watch tv,we do not chew properly,so food takes time to digest.Moreover we tend to eat a lot.The time required for the mind to understand that we r full & that we should stop eating is 20 minutes.But by watching tv we tend to finish eating within this time & we r loaded full.We also fail to relish the food.Thus researchers have proved this increases cholesterol content in the body,increasing the chances of DIABETES. Those of u out there eating before tv,gradually if not immediately,try to stop eating before the tv.Move to u'r dining table n relish the food.Also u get to talk with u'r parents & interact with them HAPPY EATING!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, i agree with you strictly, eating b4 tivo its a very bad habit, even here r brain plays the major role in it, when we eat infront of tivo we tend forget about the food, its taste, flavour and we tend to eat more... The more we watch TiVo the more we eat food and increase our belly fat... PLEASE STOP STOP STOP eating infront of TiVo, PLZ try it

hey sharvan..stuffing your face in front of the tv is not the only problem. i keep munching and eating stuff while in front of the computer on the internet as well. so its not only the idiot box that causes you to overeat. i know i do. i maybe full or not exactly hungry but i still tend to eat! so yea it is bad for health, especially if you eat junk food!
