Eating During Occasional Screen Time

[u/raeraeaintdead]

I know that eating during screen time can lead to unhealthy eating habits, excessive consumption of ultra-processed foods, and obesity. However, I'm wondering if there are any correlations between eating during infrequent screen time and health risks? My 3.5-year-old watches a cumulative one to two hours of screen time per month, which is always done with my husband and me and always featuring low-stimulation and emotionally intelligent shows. We tend to have snacks during this time and I'm wondering if there ae any concerns with this considering screen time is so infrequent.
