Would love to have been able to see a source on that whopper- even in the days before most had computers, I don't see any reporting showing ~8 hours a day of consumption for children.

- RankingMember 4y agoYeah I saw that but those numbers are by household, not children-specific. ~8 hours is a lot to claim for an average child (even in 1990) and I wasn't able to find anything backing it up.
