THE BENEFITS OF LIFE WITHOUT TV

In 2014, Kate and Bill Moser left their jobs in Los Angeles and moved to a small town in the Midwest. They
started a family and had two children. There’s nothing very special about that, but the Moser family is a little
unusual — they haven’t owned a TV since they moved. The children have never seen a TV show except at
friends’ houses. Interestingly, no one in the family even wants a TV. But why? Bill Moser explains.
We haven’t had a TV in a long time, and we don’t miss it at all. Here’s why:
1.  We’ve saved money because we don’t pay a cable company, and our kids don’t see commercials for toys and
fancy clothes. Our little boy, Mikey, loves to repair damaged things he finds in the yard. He has already made two
toy trains and a car out of trash.
2.  Have you heard that the average American spends over five hours watching TV every day? We have a lot
more time now that we’re not watching TV. In fact, we’ve never read so many books!
3.  My wife and I haven’t had to go to the doctor’s office for two years. That’s because we spend most of our free
time outdoors — hiking, cycling, and playing with our kids. I’ve already lost some weight!
4.  Our children have never eaten pizzas, burgers, chips, candy, or any junk food because they don’t see any
commercials for it. Also, we have more time to cook, so we try new healthy recipes together.
5.  I think we might be a little smarter now, too. Some studies have shown that watching TV can change the way
your brain works. Kids who watch a lot of TV when they’re very young often start speaking later.
All good reasons to turn off the TV!
