Okay.\u00c2\u00a0 So we have this story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LONDON (Reuters) \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Children who watch television for more than two hours a day have twice the risk of developing asthma, British researchers reported Tuesday.<\/em><\/p>\n

Asthma affects more than 300 million people worldwide and is the most common children<\/span>‘s chronic illness. Symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath<\/span>, coughing and chest tightness<\/span>.<\/em><\/p>\n

A study published in the journal Thorax may help link asthma, estimated to account for one in 250 deaths globally each year, to obesity and lack of exercise<\/span>, experts said.<\/em><\/p>\n

“There has been a recent suggestion that breathing patterns associated with sedentary behavior could lead to developmental changes in the lungs and wheezing illnesses in children,” Andrea Sherriff of the University of Glasgow<\/span> and colleagues wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n

All good and well — the dangers of television on the health of children.\u00c2\u00a0 But I have to wonder about the photograph, which exposes another problem with television not covered in the article.<\/p>\n

The file footage is pretty old.\u00c2\u00a0 That character has long since been killed to death by Israelis, with his cousin — a Bee — swooping in to promise to avenge the Mickey character’s Death at the hands of the Israeli Land-Stealers<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0— that is, unless the Bee has served the noble pursuit of Suicide Bombing — I admit to not being a regular viewer of this Hamas Children’s Program.<\/p>\n

Honestly, the idea that the kid pictured might get one of any type of physical malady from too much television is the least of my concern in assessing the World Picture.\u00c2\u00a0 And I’m thinking there had to have been a better photograph available for Yahoo and the AP to use here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
