television they get fat. In the United Kingdom and the United States, many people think that
children are fat because they watch lots of television and don`t go out to play.

like Baby Einstein, or Brainy Baby. They say that if babies sit down to watch these
programmes they develop more quickly.

documentaries or the news. This theory says that this scares people. They think the world is
