“…Epstein et al (35) conducted experiments with the use of children and with children and their mothers (34) in an analog of a convenience store. In both studies, participants were provided with the opportunity to purchase healthier or less healthy foods across conditions in a within-subject design in which the prices of one type of food were increased or decreased while prices for the other type of food were held constant.…”

One way in which to modify food purchases is to change prices through tax policy, subsidy policy, or both. We reviewed the growing body of experimental research conducted in the laboratory and in the field that investigates the following: the extent to which price changes influence purchases of targeted and nontargeted foods, total energy, or macronutrients purchased; the interaction of price changes with adjunctive interventions; and moderators of sensitivity to price changes. After a brief overview of economic principles and observational research that addresses these issues, we present a targeted review of experimental research. Experimental research suggests that price changes modify purchases of targeted foods, but research on the overall nutritional quality of purchases is mixed because of substitution effects. There is mixed support for combining price changes with adjunctive interventions, and there are no replicated findings on moderators to price sensitivity in experiments. Additional focused research is needed to better inform food policy development with the aim of improving eating behavior and preventing obesity.

“…No entanto, os filhos de pais mais permissivos tendem a ter hábitos alimentares menos saudáveis 27 . Diante dos diferentes enfoques dados ao modo como os pais devem agir para auxiliar na formação dos hábitos alimentares de seus filhos, observa-se que os melhores resultados são obtidos quando os hábitos e o ambiente familiar servem de base para as práticas alimentares das crianças 28 .…”

ObjetivoComparar hábitos alimentares e comportamento de consumo de crianças de diferentes níveis de renda familiar de Florianópolis (SC), Brasil, relacionando-os com o hábito de assistir à televisão. MétodosEstudo qualitativo com análise de conteúdo de manuscritos originados de 23 grupos focais, realizados em uma escola pública e uma escola particular de Florianópolis (SC), compostos por 111 estudantes de 7 a 10 anos. Para verificar a renda familiar dos estudantes, dados sobre a ocupação dos pais foram classificados pela Classificação Brasileira de Ocupações. Os estudantes da escola particular pertenciam a famílias de maior renda em relação aos da escola pública. ResultadosNas duas escolas, a maioria das crianças entrevistadas referiu assistir à televisão sempre que possível, sem sentir controle dos pais sobre esse hábito. Além disso, afirmaram ter dinheiro para gastos independentes e vontade de comprar os produtos anunciados nas propagandas de televisão. Estudantes da escola pública relataram ingerir e adquirir guloseimas mais frequentemente e ter maior liberdade para fazer compras do que os estudantes da escola particular, que revelaram sentir-se controlados pelos pais em relação aos seus hábitos alimentares e compras realizadas.

“…6 Types of food chosen and purchased by parents are essential to the development of healthy habits by children. Previous research demonstrated that food-shopping behaviors of mothers and children are similar 7 and that children of parents who buy more FV were more likely to try such foods. 8 Consequently, the choices at the time of purchase represent the beginning of the consumption chain in the family environment.…”
