Discuss how watching too much television can lead to or exacerbate a pattern of unhealthy eating.
What will be an ideal response?
(Answers may vary). Television viewing is more than just a sedentary activity. Think about people's habits before and during a bout of program viewing. They turn on the television, stop by the kitchen for food and beverages and return to watch the show, start snacking, and are bombarded with commercials about soft drinks, alcohol, and unhealthy foods. Viewers are enticed to purchase and eat unhealthy, calorie-dense foods in an unnecessary and mindless "snacking setting." Television viewing has been shown to reduce the number of fruits and vegetables some people consume, most likely because people are eating the unhealthy foods advertised on television. A similar result has been observed in those playing video games. Calorie intake has been found to go up regardless of the individual's hunger cues.
