Thanks for the comments folks.
Janet - Well it's great if you can impose such rule like that. However a single like me is free to have the meals anywhere in the house.

Kenny: If it's a program that you hate watching then why do you watch it? Naturally if our brain is distracted from the food we are eating then we will eat more.

Vic Grace and Fasy: Same here, but if the program that you are watching is a 3 hours movie. Then chance is if there's a snack lying near then that snack will be consumed.

OE: Just eat cookies and ice cream then. They are not that harmful :)

Scott: Luckily the tv here is not littered by junk food ads. But it's literred by colored snacks ads which is just as bad.

Lady Rose: Air popped popcorn is great. However I usually spice it with pepper and oregano. yes I am a harry potter fan too, I saw your kids Hogwart birthday, there gonna be Hogmseade in your country too! Envy!

I always take plain air popped popcorn with me to the movies -- I really enjoy plain now, it's a great fiber snack and keeps me from nibbling on unhealthy choices. And I have a rule - no snacking at home after dinner. I can have a zero calorie drink or water (or in winter a 25 calorie diet hot chocolate once in awhile) - but that's it. You get used to it and I feel much better not have food in my stomach trying to digest while I'm sleeping.

So you're a Harry Potter fan too? Cool. Did you see my photos from the big Harry Potter we had?

Health and Happiness, Lady Rose

Wow, Miss Cherry, that is very interesting! You know what else is dangerous about tv, too, is the advertisements for the taco bell, burger king, arby's and all the other fast, convenient food places that we are constantly bombarded with while surfing the tube. It is a huge overload of advertisements, encouraging us to eat (and do other stuff).

..and then we complain about our obesity problem :)

Okay, but what do I eat when it's 3 am and I wake up with the weebie jeebies screaming for cookies or ice cream (this happened even when I was 10 yrs old).

We usually watch the news. I don't think we eat more we just get indegestion and our blood pressure goes us. We keep saying we are going to stop watching the news but it is a long ingrained habit.

That is great advice. I never snack at night anyway, and we have a family rule, no TV during meal times!
