I thought that this article brought up some really good points. I will still continue to monitor how much tv my kids watch since I think that there is better options for their mind/time, but it is good to hear a study come out and say to parents to stop trying to find blame on advertisers and other such things. I do think that parents ultimately have to take a more active role in the way their kids eat and spend their time. Interesting read.
