quote: Among all 26-year-olds, 17 per cent of those who are overweight, 15 per cent of those with high cholesterol, 17 per cent of smokers and 15 per cent with poor fitness could be directly attributed to watching more than two hours of TV a day.

Only 7 per cent of those in the study watched less than one hour a day as children, and they were by far the healthiest.

is that an average of 2 hours 20 min a day? some days we watch over two hours, but most days we watch under that or none at all.
