Default TV viewing, computer use linked to obesity

I had no idea, how about you?

I always thought it was bad diet and lack of exercise

It might contribute to it....but lack of exercise and eating more than your body can handle are the primary reasons.

Period.

If you stop watching TV, quit using the computer so much...are you suddenly going to NOT be obese?

You'll be too bored and will go outside looking for stimulation in most cases. If there were no computers or televisions less people would be obese that is for sure.

And if they handed out diet pills in the fairy kingdom of wonderland the nothing would never swallow fantasia....

And if...'The Jets' came back they'd win the Stanley Cup every year.

And if there were no computers or TVs we'd all either be Amish or suicidal.
