Here are the household sizes for other countries, Japan is the real shocker here:

Here is the obesity rate by country. If you were to convert the hours watched per household to per person and do a regression against obesity, I'd bet there'd be a fairly powerful correlation there:

I'd love to see a study that does a regression of obesity against the 3 variables of hours of TV, vehicle miles driven, and number of fast food restaurants, to see which ends up being the biggest factor. |
hahaha "weighted" average
and oh yeah, in japan, nearly everyone is skinny. it's quite unbelievable. the difference is noticeable for sure.
