televisão no quarto

«(...) The University of Minnesota School of Public Health finds that 15-18 year olds with a television set in their bedroom watch more, eat less well, drink more sugar, exercise less and see their grades at school suffer. Perhaps surprisingly, however, the TV-owning teens somehow managed to dodge the obesity bullet, usually a direct result of the double whammy of sedentary activity levels combined with poor dietary habits. According to a Reuters report on the study, 62% of 15-18 year olds have a bedroom television, and as a result indulge in five additional hours of weekly viewing over that watched by the 38% without a bedroom TV.» Radio Business Report 8/04/08, Volume 25, Issue 69, Jim Carnegie, Editor & Publisher
