Peace.....
I have to chime in and agree with the previous thoughts offered. While I do sensor what my children watch and for how long, it is good to give them better alternatives. In the summer time, they have to go outside. I can remember when I was a child, being overweight was not common at all because we were all outside running around having fun. So basically it all comes down to the parents and how they choose to raise their children. If you allow the television to "babysit" your children, then the TV sets the moral standard (which everyone agrees is a bad choice), instead of the parent's values being the standard.
