对肥胖率上升和相关健康问题的关注导致人们呼吁解决电视和食品广告对儿童饮食的潜在不健康影响。研究表明，儿童的食物偏好是通过学习过程获得的，并且这些偏好对饮食具有长期影响。我们调查了大学生的食物偏好和饮食行为，并评估了两个潜在因素的相对影响：父母的沟通和电视经验。与之前对儿童的研究一致，之前的电视经历继续预测成年早期的不健康食物偏好和饮食，感知的味道与健康和不健康的饮食有最直接的关系。此外，电视经验和养育子女的因素独立影响偏好和饮食。这些研究结果提供了对替代媒体干预的潜在有效性的见解，以抵消电视对饮食的不健康影响，包括a）营养教育; B）父母沟通和媒体素养教育，教孩子抵御不必要的影响;和c）减少接触不健康的信息。
The concern over increasing rates of obesity and associated health issues has led to calls for solutions to the potentially unhealthy influence of television and food advertising on children's diets. Research demonstrates that children's food preferences are acquired through learning processes, and that these preferences have long-lasting effects on diet. We examined food preferences and eating behaviors among college students, and assessed the relative influence of 2 potential contributors: parental communication and television experience. In line with previous studies with children, prior television experience continued to predict unhealthy food preferences and diet in early adulthood, and perceived taste had the most direct relationship to both healthy and unhealthy diets. In addition, both television experience and parenting factors independently influenced preferences and diet. These findings provide insights into the potential effectiveness of alternative media interventions to counteract the unhealthy influence of television on diet, including a) nutrition education; b) parental communication and media literacy education to teach children to defend against unwanted influence; and c) reduced exposure to unhealthy messages.
