Do you usually watch the television when eating?

Yes, sometimes I watched television when eating especially dinner. If I am alone eating I will watched television when eating because it is very boring.

No I don't, and my beau usually ask me not to do so...

Hi King, You're right about eating while watching tv. It is not good to do that because a person can't monitor how much food he is eating when he is focused on watching tv. It is better not to let kids be familiar to this habit though... But I'm guilty of doing that since I live alone in the city and it's so boring and unappetizing to eat alone. I watch movies or animes online on my laptop and not on tv

I do, during dinner; some say that by doing so, you will eat more without noticing it; not in my case because what I put on the table is what I usually eat, no more no less; thanks God that I don't like to munch on junk foods while watching television.

I alwasy watch television while eating dinner. It helps to digest even the bad food. Striking!! Yes, Eating food while watching television is a bad habit. You will never able to realize the good taste of the food and not even enjoy the food. But the time I ususlly take my dinner is the time when good serials are coming on the television, so I can not avoide them.

I have TV right in front of the dining table. I guess TV has become a big part of us already. We usually eat at the time the news are being aired and I love watching news that is why there is a small tv in front of the dining table. I think it has become part of the system since back when we were young we are used to watch tv while eating. It has become a habit.

I do watch the television while eating. But not all the time. Lol. =P

yes, with no manners at all, we ate lunch and dinner while watching the Television, it's been a habit for years. but i do agree that it's not a good practice especially for the kids, my grandmother always yelled at us saying that we should turn off the TV and respect the grace from God.

yes. i watch television if possible. i like the feeling of doing two of my favorite things at once..hehehe

Yes i agreed on your discussion its not good to watch tv while eating. because you cant eat very well of your attention is on other side. your good appetite will not work if your brain is busy. eating junk foods also is prohibited in our family because it has toxic ingredients that can harm your healthy body.

nope, we don't watch tv during eating. my family talk with each other during eating and sometimes we discuss our plans during eating. i think its one of the best times for you to spend time with family or friends during lunch or dinner. besides, try to turn off tv while eating. it saves energy and in turn decrease our demand for fossil fuels that emit CO2 to the atmosphere. thanks!

its been my habit for a long time.. i think it is better for me to watch and eat at the same time, rather than eat alone. i tend to finish everything in my plate eventhough it takes me longer time to finish eating.. hehehe its not a good habit to let children eat while working coz they may end up like me!! hehehe happy mylotting!

When I was still a kid, our television set is placed beside our dinning table because it was lack of space. Then every time we take our meals, we usually open the TV to watch for our favorite TV shows. Then we notice that eating while watching takes more time than the normal phase. Another thing is that we consume much more food when we are watching while we don't. Scientifically, it's true that our brains have hard time to distinguished weather you are already full or not. It's all because you are usually focus on watching than determining your appetite. Same as taking junk foods and popcorns while watching movies. One more thing is that when your child have a practice of watching TV while taking their meals, your kid does not focus on meal instead on the show. It is a problem for all parents when they usually complaints about their child does not like to eat much as others. So our solution is to separate the location of the TV set to our Dinning.

Yes I always eating while watching TV. This is say my habit also. Since from childhood i watching the TV when i have eating. I know this is very bad habit but i cant do anything for this. I want always TV at the time of eating at home. Normally i watch news, and movies at the time of eating. I dont want to this habit on my children, so i always alert on this.

Sometimes I do it if the TV programs are worth watching. Watching teve while eating doesnt influence your chewing speed, I dont think. But you might loose your eating appetite.

After eating is the usual scenario we would love to watch. Coz for us during eating time is the perfect time to talk over the things that had happend for the whole day. Try to discuss and share it, may it be good or a bad one. And to reflect on the things that we have incountered. But to watch televesion eating nuts and junk foods is fun too.

yes it is a bad habit and i have that bad habit.I inculcated it from childhood.i dont think i can change that now.

I'm also eating while I'm eating I used to that habit when I was young. My family don't eat together on a table. Sometimes it is boring when you eat with nothing to watch about. For me it is an entertainment but I agree to them that you can't control your eating when you are watching TV.

I watch television when eating. It is better because the food is digested very well when eating slowly so it gives more energy to the body...
