Busting the Food-Hyperactivity link myth?

[Beestie]

Television teaches kids to have an attention span of no greater than 15 minutes, usually less, actually.

I think the cartoon "The Fairly Odd Parents" shortens it further probably down to about 8 seconds or so.

That cartoon is just too intense - its absolute, non-stop visual and audio stimulation at overdrive level.

I didn't realize it until I had watched it for a while but I think the idea is to take the child's brain, put it into one of those things in Home Depot that shakes the paint and not turn it loose even for a second. When that cartoon comes on, I find the kids another one to watch.
