Can gadgets make you want to snack on chips, etc?

I think if one is on a diet, he must minimize the use of gadgets, why? Because when you watch Youtube movies, you want to snack on whatever you see around. So obesity and social media and gadgets relatively connected..What do you think?

Watching something while eating might have a chance for someone to eat more since they were not aware on how many chips have they already eaten.

@Janet357 Indeed. It happens to me as well. It's why I don't have television in front of me or my phone when I'm eating foods hehe

A person needs to control her actions and not constantly snacking just because you are watching a show or a video is one

Not really or maybe I am one of the odd case. I don't like snacking to begin with.

I don't think obesity are connected to social media or gadgets. There are also some people ,once they start watching YouTube's..etc,they cannot leave it,no time to eat and drink as well. I think depends on the person .
