Plus, a study finds the reality of reality TV is that it can do more harm than just burning brain cells. Chuck has details on why the popular shows could be influencing children and teens to feast on junk foods that are high in fat, salt, and sugar. They may even nudge them to start drinking or smoking. Tune in later to see an unhealthy future.
