Scientists have studied the effects of television watching on the metabolic rate of children and its potential implications for childhood obesity. In a study of 15 obese children and 16 normal weight children, it was found that the metabolic rate of all children significantly decreased while watching television compared to their metabolic rate when they were at normal rest. The drop was greater for obese children, but the difference in drops between the two groups of children was not statistically significant. What is a reasonable conclusion to draw from this study?
A) Television watching does not affect childhood obesity.
B) Television watching is an activity that should be carefully considered when studying factors that may affect adult obesity.
C) Television watching contributes more to childhood obesity than the overconsumption of sugary foods.
D) Television watching is an activity that should be carefully considered when studying factors that may affect childhood obesity.
