“…We selected claims about fiber because of the following: (1) the American Dietetic Association has highlighted inadequate fiber intake as a critical nutrition concern for this age group (American Dietetic Association, ); (2) diets high in fiber tend to be low in fat (Niklas et al , ); (3) fiber plays an important role in decreasing the risk of obesity and other chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and colon cancer (American Dietetic Association, ); (4) claims about fiber are prevalent in the cereal category; and (5) children's knowledge of fiber is lower than their knowledge about other ingredients, such as sugar, fat, and calories (Murphy et al , ), which increases the likelihood that the claim would provide new information and thus have a larger impact on choice.…”

Surprisingly little is known about how children respond to marketer-provided information in retail environments and how such information might impact decisions. In this paper, we investigated children's responses to a particular type of marketer-provided information-on-package nutritional claim information. Using a 4 × 2 between-subjects experiment, we examined whether 8-to 12-year-old children are aware of this information, whether it influences their choices, and whether this influence is moderated by the type of claim and/or exposure to an in-school health curriculum. Our findings reveal that this information impacts choices in an intriguing way-it has a backlash effect, causing children to make unhealthier choices when on-package claims are present in the choice set. This negative effect is most pronounced for general claims. Further, the negative impact of on-package claims is reduced, but not eliminated, by health education. Implications for designing more effective ways to communicate nutritional information are discussed.

“…This optimum time for nutrition education has been identified as between the ages of 8-12 years. Since lifelong eating patterns and habits are formed during these years of development, preventive measures like nutrition education can encourage children to improve their dietary habits (Winter, Stanton and Bousley, 1999;Kelder et al, 1994;Murphy et al, 1994;Shannon, Graves and Hunt, 1982). Therefore, the objective of this research was to investigate the effect of a three-week school-based nutrition education program on the nutrition knowledge and healthy food choices of fifth graders.…”

“…Therefore, nutrition intervention is most successful prior to the junior high school years (Winter, Stanton and Bousley, 1999;Murphy et al, 1994;Splett and Story, 1991;Shannon, Graves and Hunt, 1982). This optimum time for nutrition education has been identified as between the ages of 8-12 years.…”

This research investigated the effect of a three-week school based nutrition education program on the nutrition knowledge and healthy food choices of 187 fifth graders who were randomly divided into a control (n ¼ 97) or an experimental (n ¼ 90) group. The control group received no nutrition education while the experimental group received 45 minutes of nutrition education, 4 days a week for 3 weeks. Nutrition knowledge scores and 3-day food records were collected at the beginning of the study and after 3 weeks. Food records were used to evaluate healthy food choices (i.e. Dietary Guideline's recommended intake for macronutrients and the recommendations of the Food Guide Pyramid for each food group). In the experimental group there was a significantly greater increase in nutrition knowledge score (p ¼ 0.001) and significant change in compliance in meeting the Dietary Guidelines (p ¼ 0.0001) and the Food Guide Pyramid's recommendations (p ¼ 0.0001). This study showed the effectiveness of a nutrition education program on nutrition knowledge scores and healthy food choices of fifth grade children.

“…Data menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak umumnya sadar akan bahaya kesehatan dari gizi buruk dan obesitas, sementara mereka tidak memiliki kemampuan untuk mengidentifikasi makanan dengan tepat. 25,26 Pengetahuan yang dimiliki seseorang tidak serta merta dapat mengubah kebiasaan makannya, dimana mereka mungkin memahami tentang protein, karbohidrat, vitamin dan zat gizi lainnya yang diperlukan untuk keseimbangan dietnya tetapi tidak pernah diaplikasikan pengetahuannya tersebut di dalam kehidupan sehari-harinya. 11 Pengetahuan yang baik diharapkan mempengaruhi konsumsi makanan yang baik sehingga dapat menuju status gizi yang baik pula.…”
