Study ties bedroom TV to unhealthy habits in teens

An opportunity here.

But first...

"The researchers tracked body mass index -- a measure based on height and weight -- and found that having a bedroom TV had no influence on whether teens were obese."

So the overweight/obesity-combating value of any intervention is, according to this article, of questionable value.

Still, likely worthwhile to try, IMHO.

Now this...

"Teenagers with a bedroom television tend to have poorer diet and exercise habits and lower grades in school than those without one, U.S. researchers said on Monday."

Here is the opportunity.

Broadcast TV is going digital next year. Do not upgrade any sets in kid's rooms with converter boxes and limit the number of government subsidized boxes to one per household.

Sure this will not work with households that have cable.

Cut the wire.

Carpe opportunity.
