Do you think television is a "symptom" of children with ADD or ADHD?

Question:

ADD and ADHD are some of the most commonly diagnosed things in children today. Is it parental laziness? Not enough Discipline? Are school systems just tired of seeing children not paying attention or being "too active"? What are your thoughts on this?

Answers:
I've read articles that a kid's diet can display symtoms of ADD or ADHD. They did studies on school age children that have been diagnosed as such, and then tried experimenting with their diet by eliminating food flavoring, additives, sugary foods such as soda, and discovered that their symptoms dramatically improved in this group study. PLEASE read John Robbin's book, The Food Revolution.

Television is a symptom of almost everything that is wrong in this world. In this household we do not watch TV anymore and have found that we have better communication, connect better emotionally and all in all your interpersonal skills increase dramactically. You will also find that you buy less "stuff" at the store.

In today's society, kids are not disciplined or paid much attention too from overstressed, overworked parents, or from divorce etc. Everything in itself creates a problem.

TV is a symptom of "Braindeadeness of TV producers."
'Nuff said.
