In the 50's, every kid wanted to be like his/her smoking, drinking, philandering, racist, bigoted parents.

Then, in the 60's, they were told that these are not good things to be.

I think they're finally getting the message.

That might have a conflict in terms. Kids do a LOT of streaming, but i would guess they don't consider that watching TV. Some might, some might not. But the existence of the "some might not" element makes that 50% relative drop a suspicious number.

I guess i'm also very surprised that the "not eating veggies" went up, given the increase in people doing vegetarian or vegan diets. Can they all be older adults? And the older adults with kids are vegan but they serve non-vegan to their kids.

That's a surprising result that is hard to make sense of.

But, i didn't think of internet, because i kind of figured everyone does that, and in my case, with the TV on.
