Use your calculations to discuss your findings with your classmates in your initial response. Include in your discussion, the titles of shows you watched, time of day broadcasted, your calculated percentages and commercial trends (for example, many cereal ads or fast food chain ads, etc).  Compare the percentages between the two shows and discuss your findings.

*Note:  Junk Food may include any food item with low nutritional value or high in carbohydrates and/or fats.  (for example, Eggo waffles, high sugar cereals, candy, fast food items, desserts, yogurt drinks high in sugar, etc.)

It should be at least 250 words.
