Innumeracy At Radio 4

Caroline Quinn on the Today programme, fronting an item about whether advertising of food (well, the wrong sort of food anyway) should be banned :

"Studies show that children who watch more adverts for these foods are more likely to be overweight - so that's pretty conclusive".

Maybe it shows that children who are sat in front of a TV for long periods tend to be overweight. Cos they're sat in front of a TV.
