“…Although parent-child pairs have been observed in supermarket settings before, observational studies of this kind can be resourceintensive. 128,148,149 Contrary to prior evidence on the role of in-store marketing on children's preferences, the shopping environment was not associated with child pestering in this sample. 128 Previous research has demonstrated strong relationships between advertising and children's food choices, however it may be that in-store marketing is only a small piece of the larger landscape of food advertisements, particularly that in TV and other media.…”

“…Although parents or caregivers are the primary purchasers of foods for households, children's preferences can drive purchasing decisions and shopping behavior (41,42). Children's food preferences have been found to be highly susceptible to branding and marketing strategies (43,44) and are highly associated with dietary preferences and health outcomes later in life (45).…”

Background: It is unclear whether racial/ethnic and income differences in foods and beverages obtained from stores contribute to disparities in caloric intake over time. Objective: We sought to determine whether there are disparities in calories obtained from store-bought consumer packaged goods (CPGs), whether brands (name brands compared with private labels) matter, and if disparities have changed over time. Design: We used NHANES individual dietary intake data among households with children along with the Nielsen Homescan data on CPG purchases among households with children. With NHANES, we compared survey-weighted energy intakes for 2003-2006 and 2009-2012 from store and nonstore sources by race/ethnicity [non-Hispanic whites (NHWs), non-Hispanic blacks (NHBs), and Hispanic Mexican-Americans) and income [#185% federal poverty line (FPL), 186-400% FPL, and .400% FPL]. With the Nielsen data, we compared 2000-2013 trends in calories purchased from CPGs (obtained from stores) across brands by race/ ethnicity (NHW, NHB, and Hispanic) and income. We conducted random-effect models to derive adjusted trends and differences in calories purchased (708,175 observations from 64,709 unique households) and tested whether trends were heterogeneous by race/ethnicity or income. Results: Store-bought foods and beverages represented the largest component of dietary intake, with greater decreases in energy intakes in nonstore sources for foods and in store sources for beverages. Beverages from stores consistently decreased in all subpopulations. However, in adjusted models, reductions in CPG calories purchased in 2009-2012 were slower for NHB and low-income households than for NHW and high-income households, respectively. The decline in calories from name-brand food purchases was slower among NHB, Hispanic, and lowest-income households. NHW and high-income households had the highest absolute calories purchased in 2000. Conclusions: Across 2 large data sources, we found decreases in intake and purchases of beverages from stores across racial/ethnic and income groups. However, potentially beneficial reductions in calories purchased were more pronounced in some subgroups over others.Am J Clin Nutr 2016;104:750-9.

Government Can Regulate Food Advertising To Children Because Cognitive Research Shows That It Is Inherently Misleading

The childhood obesity crisis has prompted repeated calls for government action to curb the marketing of unhealthy food to children. Food and entertainment industry groups have asserted that the First Amendment prohibits such regulation. However, case law establishes that the First Amendment does not protect "inherently misleading" commercial speech. Cognitive research indicates that young children cannot effectively recognize the persuasive intent of advertising or apply the critical evaluation required to comprehend commercial messages. Given this combination-that government can prohibit "inherently misleading" advertising and that children cannot adequately understand commercial messages-advertising to children younger than age twelve should be considered beyond the scope of constitutional protection.
