T.V. and it's Link to Obesity in Children

     After reviewing Marie Winn's excerpt on "Television" The Plug-In Drug, and her opinion on how television emerges as the important influence in children 's lives today, I agree with Ms. Winn's opinion on how television has completely changed the fabric of family life and values altogether.  However, I was somewhat surprised she did not mention the health effects on children when watching to much TV as TV viewing is one of the leading culprits in child obesity.

       I will be further addressing the issue of obesity in my next two blogs, when covering Video games and advertising.
