Best Answer

Eating while watching can lead to overweight followed by obesity. Our minds are occupied on what we are watching and the brain is slow to send the message of the feeling of "fullness" because it is busy focusing on the television. Children growing up

watching while they have their meals tend to keep this habit and have a higher chance of being overweight as an adult.

DEBATING_GIRL:

I am continuing from what the above person said. When kids watch TV they see many advertisements. Usually these advertisements promote an unhealthy food or drink. This makes children THINK they're hungry but they reaaly aren't. So then they go look around for junk food or they might nag their parents to buy them what they saw.
