...so in today's paper is an article talking about one of the new surveys our Canadian Stats Dept. has completed. This one is a doozy. Here's the first paragraph of the article taken from today's Chronicle Herald:
"Canadians who are spending lots of their leisure time in front of screens — especially TV screens — are more likely to be obese, the Canadian Community Health Survey from Statistics Canada suggests."
Well WOW...aren't you glad your tax dollars paid someone to figure that out? I'm so relieved that I know that now because I never once thought that sitting down doing no physical activity could lead to obesity. What an eye opener....*gag*....I'm some glad our government is keeping us informed on these very PERTINENT issues...*rolling my eyes now*...nothing like sitting down to read the paper and reading such an exhilarating article...*cough*...I feel much better now and can move forward with my life now that I know this information...*chuckle*.
So as I continue reading this article I get to this part...prepare yourself for the most intelligent conclusion i'm sure you've ever heard...: " "From this, we would suggest that decreasing television viewing time in particular may be to the advantage of people at risk of overweight or obesity," said Mark Tremblay, one of the authors and the director of the Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Institute at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa. "
hardly know what to say after that...
