Summary
Dr.Northup is curious as to the correlation between junk food and TV. So he conducted a survey in which 591 young adults participated in. What he found is that there was a correlation between the two. That may seem obvious but what's not so obvious is why the two have a correlation. The main factor between the two is that people who watch a lot of TV tend to be less educated about proper eating habits and the affect of junk food. This plus the countless junk food ads that is being fed to your brain every commercial break make up sometimes a deadly and life threatening combination of variables. Without TV Dr. Northup believe that America as a whole would be a healthier nation and would be much more educated in the human body and the effects food has on it.
