I always think that it's great to watch a movie while munching something. It does not necessarily have to be junk food, only that it's a great feeling that there's a food in my mouth while I watch something interesting...

Yum! I like nuts. Right about now, we're watching while eating nori--it's a Japanese cuisine made from seaweeds and more, dried, flattened and salted a bit. It's healthy and delicious! The other day, we were munching raw cabbage leaf. And I gotta tell you, we were like goats.

Hi zills: I had this bad habit which makes people get fatter. Now I think I have stopped this bad behaviour. Thanks God the dining room is far from the tv because that's one of the reasons why people on the tv on while they are eating and they don't even realize about what they eat. ALVARO

Just try to correct it. I know you've already know it's not a good thing for neither concentration on movie nor your health.

I prefer drinks with movies. I hate the noises I make when i'm munching on chips and other crispy stuffies, as it makes the movie's sound difficult to hear. :P In the cinema however it's quite fun hearing munching all around the theater, it's part of the cinema's atmosphere. Sorry I got a bit out of subject, all in all I prefer drinks over chips. ^^

lol! I too din't have the habit of eating anything when I watching tv. But lately, even I feel like munching on something when I am watching something. I even feel like eating something or the other If I am simply sitting. And while watching movies, pop corn is become a must for me. Wow! My mom wanted me to have something whenever I used to go out with her for movies. She wanted me to give her the company to eat. Now that I also eat popcorns, she is not alone anymore. She is glad and in a way annoyed too. I eat more than how much sh eats and sometimes I take her share of it also and finish it off.

They may not be a problem when you are younger, but as you get older they will really affect you. You are more active when you are younger, but with age you will gain weight. Also, all that grease and fat will slow you down.

I agree that there may not be any problem while are young, but as we get older, all things that we do will definitely take its toll when we are no longer as active as we are now. Age can really make a great impact on our weight because from age 25 and up, every year that adds to our age could slow down our metabolism.

I do like munching on something, when I'm watching a movie. I will usually some junk food, but I think that it depends on what I'm in the mood for, and such.

They are problems because they are unhealthy and not good for our body if taken too much. Imagine how much salt intake you have in just one pack of junkfood. I don't have the habbit of eating junkfood while watching movie but there are times that my mouth would really crave for it, that's the time I eat but I try to make it just once a week and as much as possible, I force myself to drink plenty of water to wash out the salt in my body.

I am similar to you- watching a movie is so much more fun if you are eating something. I don't munch on popcorn or junk foods- not really fond of those, I eat bread plus coffee instead..yummy

I'm not so fond of eating junkfoods. Thankfully I don't get tempted to it easily. But sweets are my weakness. From time to time when I am hungry, I try to go with yogurt, oatmeal, fruits and etc... I have to try to live healthy for my sake.

i usually stay away from fast food ot junk food as you call it.whenever i watch a movie i don't eat.sometimes when i am alone at home i may eat my dinner in front of a movie but i don't really feel the need to eat when i watch tv or a movie.i usually drink a tea or maybe a coffe but that is all. you can try to replace junk food with peanuts and stuff like that,because they are also healthy to eat.

When I was younger, my parents would buy peanuts and soda, and we enjoy watching a movie together with this treat. Now, with my own family, we still want to grab something to munch on while watching DVDs at home. When in the moviehouse, we also bring some food inside - popcorn would be fine with me.

i think it's ok to eat junkfoods just drink water after you eat. my mother tells me to drink more water when i eat junkfoods so when i eat i make sure i drink atleast 1 glass of water per junkfood :D actually, i am eating junkfood while posting this response :)

i rarely eat junk foods but just a few nights ago, i saw a friend on Facebook with this bag of chips and made me crave for one too haha so i went to buy some chips and had some too. i was like, my gosh i haven't had this for ages already. to me, they are not healthy because of the preservatives and you can not get any nutrition form it that is why they are called Junk Foods

Just like you, I have this thing about eating food that are low in nutrients while watching. I also love Lays potato chips and I used to finished two bags of it just in one sitting. However, we all know that food like these can really do no good for our body. They are just there to satisfy our palate but not our well being. I suggest that you munch on sliced and pieces of fruits instead of chips. Munching on vegetables and dips can be a good alternative too. I think we should practice mindful eating while we are still young because it will definitely take its toll on us when we are older.

I usually like to have a snak or a soft drink when I am doing something. When I'm at the computer browsing or just doing stuff on the computer, I do like to have a soft drink near by. Sometimes I may have a bag of chips, but not so much. I know it may not be the healthiest thing to do, but its ok, every once in awhile.
