Children spend more time watching TV than they spend in school.
An American child typically spends almost twice as many hours watching TV each year as learning in a classroom. It's no surprise that the vast majority of parents would like to limit their children's TV viewing. Children tend to eat fewer fruits and vegetables than their parents do. For good health, both adults and children should eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day as part of their diet. These may include fresh, frozen, canned, or even dried fruits and vegetables.
