Watching television absolutely does not promote obesity. All too often, television is blamed for all kinds of fitness problems. That is a long way from the truth although there is an accepted link between television viewing and obesity.
Obesity is caused in many cases by over eating and lack of exercise. Watching television to excess has a tendency to leave insufficient time for activities that burn calories. This link should not be used to blame television for people being over-weight or obese although encouraging people to watch less television and exercise more would certainly contribute to lower weight and greater fitness levels.

How does watching tv affect childrens eating habits?
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.
