TV linked to Unhealthy Diets
A recent article in the New York Times discussed the link between watching TV and an unhealthy diet. A survey was conducted and found that there were varieties amongst the race, sex and ages of children and what type of foods they snacked on while watching TV. Girls watch less TV than boys, older children eat more fast food than younger children, and white children eat more fruits and vegetables. It is important for parents to limit TV time and provide healthy snack options for their children. Check out the NY Times article.
