Does watching Television for 20+ hours make you obese or fat?

Yes because you are not getting daily exercise and just sitting there and doing nothing.

depends on eating habits of the person and a persons metabalism also what they watch! shows that get their heart rate elevated would help burn some of the food they consume .

I think that will depend on what you do with yourself for the rest of your time. If ur lifestyle is lazy then chances are you'll be overweight.

NO, the ONLY thing that makes a person fat is indulging in too much food, good food or bad food, junk food or home made....too much of anything makes one's body fat.

No eating the wrong food, over eating, and lack of any form of physical activity will be the cause of someone being obese or fat.
If those 20 hours is over a week, then it only averages out to over 2 hours per day, and if someone is able to use some of this time while watching TV to also do some exercise than it shouldn't be a problem.
They act of watching TV for any period of time itself cannot and will not make someone obese, but combine watching an excessive amount of TV with a bad diet and a lack of physical activity and you have a recipe for obesity.

NO
- It Makes your Butt sore though.
- it's a wonder you could sit through that much tube straight especially if your Australian as 98% of whats on our tv is currently CRAP or RE-RUNS/REPEATS.
- By CRAP I mean CRAP - reality, sport boring movies including B&W 1930's-1950's and far fetched stupid recent movies.
- There is too much pressure on people to lose weight - everyone assumes it's cause fat people pig out all day and are lazy. Does anyone consider there are a range of medical problems that stop people losing weight much at all if any???
- That said the current state of health care in Australia means if you have something that stops you losing weight , say a screwed up metabolism etc than the doctors tend to think your joking until you proove to them it's not what you eat or do that causes the weight. Then you can't get to see a specialist (well not in QLD anyway) about it cause there isn't any except in Brisbane unless you pay for it through the nose (which with the cost of bills these days just to live is not gonna happen for many people in the medicare system), so you can't do a thing about it.
- I reckon everyone should just back off, once the right balance is found who says you have to be tissue thin to be healthy? If i followed one doctors advise for my height and weight i'd be annorexic! Doctors are given these ridiculous set of guidelines for how thin everyone should be but the guidelines don't take into consideration that there are different 'bone sizes' the guidelines think everyone has twig thick bones - well not me i have big ones - i couldn't get to immitate a broom handle and still be healthy! I'm not fat either - i have fat in some places - places that it just won't budge from no matter what!! I can see exactly where some bones are and i sit infront of a computer up to 12 hours a day. I don't see the diff in it.
- So until you can stop generalising why people don't lose weight then quit making fuss over it.
