TV and Fast Food
Teens who watch TV more than five hours a day are prone to become fast-food junkies as adults, a University of Minnesota study suggests.
The connection? Too much time spent watching ads for fast food restaurants, snacks and other unhealthy food choices, says U of M researcher Daheia Barr-Anderson.
"Parents need to adhere to the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that children watch less than two hours of quality television per day," she said.
