“…Researchers have found that in the US, children were exposed to unhealthier food items than healthy food in television programming (Radnitz et al, 2009;Tapper, Horne, & Lowe, 2003). Compared with healthy foods, unhealthy foods were shown more extensively, were valued more highly by characters, and were consumed to a greater extent (Radnitz et al, 2009).…”

“…Compared with healthy foods, unhealthy foods were shown more extensively, were valued more highly by characters, and were consumed to a greater extent (Radnitz et al, 2009). Contrary to the US findings, this study showed that children's programs in China were characterized by healthy food choices.…”

“…Some food references are not shown in the form of product placement but displayed without brand logos. Radnitz et al (2009) argued that enthusiasm shown by television characters for high-fat and/or sugary foods might have more influence than TV advertising on children's diets since children could develop very strong feelings for these characters.…”

The present study aimed to investigate advertising environment aimed at children in China and food environment in children's programs. Television viewing has been regarded as a factor contributing to childhood overweightness and obesity. This study documented how foods were shown in advertisements and editorial content on television. Television content on two children's channels in children's peak view time were recorded and analyzed. Children were exposed to a large number of unhealthy food advertisements and the advertising appeals found in advertisements of Western countries were also found in Chinese advertisements. As a part of the socialization process, the TV advertisements may become a potential hazard to influence children's health in China.

“…A handful of studies have analysed the food-related content of television programmes or attempted to link data about television content in general to data about viewers (Kaufman, 1980;Story and Faulkner, 1990;Signorielli and Staples, 1997;Korr, 2008;Murphy, Hether and Rideout, 2008;Radnitz, Byrne, Goldman, Sparks, Gantshar and Tung, 2009). All these studies found that foods in television programmes were most likely to be low in nutritional content and that characters in television fiction commonly exhibited what some authors describe as 'poor nutritional practices' (Story and Faulkner, 1990: 740), even though they were likely to be portrayed as healthy individuals of normal weight.…”

“…In their free time adolescents usually have fun, do sports and watch TV (Wadden et al, 2002;Radnitz et al, 2009;Higgs and Woodward, 2009). The research which was conducted by Kljakić (2000) points to the problem of physical inactivity among a large number of high school students in Serbia.…”

Abstract:The period of adolescence is a period of rapid biological, physical and social changes. Diet of adolescents is based on eating large amounts of fast food. The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between high school students in several cities of the Republic of Srpska (Banja Luka, Gradiška, Srbac, Teslić and Čelinac) and their attitude towards food and the consumption of fast food, as well as food products that are commonly found in their menu.In this paper, a survey among high school students of both sexes, aged between 15 and 19 was conducted. The survey included 12 questions that can be classifi ed into three groups: general information about the students, the data on physical activities of adolescents who consume "fast food" in their diet and information about their knowledge about the impact of the diet on their overall health.A great number of students (89.90%) do not think that fast food belongs to the group of "healthy" food, and they think (82.70%) that it has impact on their overall health. More than half of the students (52.90%) are satisfi ed with their body weight. There is about the same number of students who think that they are overweight (23.90%) or underweight (23.20%). The vast majority of students (92.80%) have not still had acute health problems due to the consumption of fast food. 58.60% of the students are partially satisfi ed with their diet, 31.10% are satisfi ed with their diet, and 61.3% of them would like change their diet.
