Fat? Don't eat. That's easy. But quality of life has to be in the formula. If you don't eat you'll loose weight. TV is addictive - an emotional drug. And it is an easy fix for parents that becomes the elephant who can sit anywhere she wants. Substitute sitting at a computer for TV and the same thing happens as has been mentioned. It's so easy to munch when your mind is somewhere else. You could add knitting, reading, writing poetry, cooking or whatever. Unfortunately, TV is so easy and so focused on the lowest intelligent scale - - - Whoa, there. I am intelligent, of course, and I watch some TV until I am overcome with anger at the constant crap flowing through commercials. Then I plug in a movie or just turn the damned thing off. Oh well, there is so much money in TV that it won't change soon. What bothers me is the money I pay and then have to deal with sleazy commercials as well.
Oh hell, this could go on forever.
