If Japanese kids are watching the most TV, shouldn't they be the fattest? From everything I read from the "experts", excessive TV watching leads to obesity. You know, they watch cartoons which are wedged between cookie commercials which lead helpless kids to binge eat. I don't want to stereotype, but Japanese kids typically aren't overweight.
Cannes, France (Hollywood Reporter) - The average level of television consumption increased on nearly every continent last year, but a new study has found that Japanese viewers watch more TV than anybody.
The newly released report from Eurodata TV Worldwide, the focus of a panel discussion at the MIPTV convention in Cannes, also found Americans' daily dose of TV climbed by three minutes last year to an average of four hours and 28 minutes -- nearly 90 minutes above the world average.
The Japanese watched the most television last year, clocking in a daily average of five hours. Americans were second, followed by Argentinians and the Greeks, who consumed four hours and 25 minutes and four hours and four minutes, respectively.
