Answer to Question 2

 The number of commercials during programming breaks is quite high. Children may see as many as 40,000 TV commercials a year. Children are exposed to a variety of foods and products, become familiar with such foods, and then request and often are allowed to eat them. Whether the high-calorie foods replace or are added to nutritious foods, they provide excess calories that contribute to unwanted weight gain.
