"When we watch TV while we eat, we tend to pay less attention to the taste of our food. The distraction of TV could even make us feel less satiated after a meal", says Floor van Meer. Although there are other negative consequences, we can find positives in it as well. Read more via 'Is eating in front of the TV really that bad for you?' (31 July, 2024).
