This article of the guardian talks about Dr Aric Sigman's concern's about the negative impact of television on the childrens health, and he makes reference to his book "Remotely Controlled: How Television Is Damaging Our Lives".
According to Sigman, the results of his studies are alarming. He provides evidence as to how television contributes to the rising global obesity rate by actually slowing our metabolic rate, stunts our children's brain development, and is responsible for over half of all rapes and murders in the industrialised world.

Very interesting, and confirms my feelings about it, without being an expert in the topic. I thing the "only seeng the action, but not living it" has a strong influence on keeping our body in "abstract/watching" mode, in stead of in "real/living" mode.
That are just some ideas comming in to my mind about it. Once I read the book I can say more.
