8th, I don't think of the tv's influence as brain
Post# of 5789
I don't think of the tv's influence as brainwashing as much as it is a subliminal suggestion to not only eat for fun, but eat very specific things, mainly sugar.
That impulsive drive works against you when you intake sugar and start the cycle you discribed, by abstaining from sugar, you stop the brain from secreting the hormones that trigger craving to eat, not just eat, but eat more sugar.
