E21 - Streaming services will make you fat and your bank account thin

Description
In this episode I discuss our nation's obsession with tv streaming services and the physiological and financial implications of long term bingeing. The popular platforms have made subscribing extremely easy, with carefully structured algorithms designed to entice us and more importantly keep our attention on their channels. Amazon, Netflix, Disney Plus and Sky TV are continually competing for our hard earned cash, with another long term consequence looming.....poor physical and mental health. Every second of every minute, a streaming channel is being watched wherever it's available, with modern families habitually huddled around multiple tv screens, whilst neglecting mindful eating. Often households subscribe to two or more services and over a one to ten year period this adds ups to thousands of pounds wasted and in many cases excess body weight and body fat increased. So next time you hunker down for your nightly consumption of box sets and 're-imaginings' of once great shows, consider getting off the couch and get moving instead.
