Study Shows TV Makes Kids Fat, Computers Don't

Xemu writes "Computers don't make children fat, but watching TV for the same length of time does. This is shown by a recent Swedish study of all school children in Lund's county conducted by RN Pernilla Garmy. The results were clear: The child's obesity was directly affected by placing a TV in the child's room, but placing a computer in the room had no effect at all. One theory is that it's common to have a snack in front of the TV, while a computer requires a more active user, for example when chatting or playing games."

" requires some critical thought to decide what to do next."
HAHAHAHAHahahahahahaha. Oh man, your bias is laughable...so I laughed.

A) Do you even play games with other people? Because they more often don't seem so smart.
B) People just accept information in every medium. TV, Computer, Newspaper, books, anything. Have you not been on the internet and read what people believe or post?
