TV Turnoof Week 2005
TV-Turnoff Network/tv-turnoff week: "Television cuts into family time, harms our children's ability to read and succeed in school, and contributes to unhealthy lifestyles and obesity. Here are just a few of the facts:
* On average, children in the US will spend more time in front of the television (1,023 hours) than in school this year (900 hours).
* Forty percent of Americans frequently or always watch television during dinner.
* As US Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher said at the Kick Off of TV-Turnoff Week 2001, 'We are raising the most overweight generation of youngsters in American history...This week is about saving lives.'"
