TV + Bedroom = unhealthy kids?

Flipping through "Thriving Family" while eating breakfast, I came across an article about TV.

70% of kids over age 7 have a TV in their bedroom! Not at our house! 

"Having a bedroom TV is related to lower amounts of sleep and lower prevalence of  regular family meals."

Sure makes me thankful that 21 years ago we decided to keep the TV upstairs and in the basement!
