The Television Attention Deficit

Watching television more than two hours a day early in life can lead to attention problems, according to a study released on Tuesday.
Young children who watched a lot of television were more likely to continue the habit as they got older, but even if they did not the damage was done, the report said.
Previous studies have linked the sedentary habit of TV watching among children to obesity and diabetes, and another study in the same journal cited the poor nutritional content of the overwhelming majority of food products advertised on the top-rated U.S. children's television shows.
...and you wonder why society and our culture is so incredibly stupid? DUH!
...there's really no hope...as cited above "the damage is done"
