- Links to all kinds of problems to media use? Bad study based on what I've seen. Other than obesity, the links seem to be reaching at best.

- Agreed. I can see the link to obesity being very plausible. It's really not clear that they aren't just identifying related effects of the same cause. Does too much TV result in these symptoms or does the fact that parents who interact so little with their children that they can watch TV all day long really cause the problem?
