The increase in obesity rates among children is a significant Global public health concern, and diet is a known contributing factor1<\/sup>. Parents play an important role in a child\u2019s diet, and there are many potential influences on parents\u2019 dietary knowledge and attitudes. For instance, parents have been demonstrated to obtain nutritional information from professionals, social networks, and media including magazines, newspapers, and television2,3<\/sup>. While many studies have examined how foods are marketed directly to children, no studies have specifically looked at food marketing to parents. If we seek to improve how and what children eat, we need to understand what types of food products are marketed to parents, and what appeals are used to promote these products.<\/p>\n

A content analysis conducted of parenting magazines<\/h1>\n

Data came from a content analysis study using a sample of six parenting and familyoriented magazines published in 2008 (24 issues total from four months – March, June, September and December). We categorized products by product type, and looked at messages, themes, photos, mentioned ingredients, and claims about the product being nutritious or contributing to health benefits.<\/p>\n

Fruit and vegetables rarely advertised<\/h1>\n

Only seven advertisements were for fruit products (26 advertisements were for fruit juices) and three advertisements were for vegetable products. The most frequently advertised foods were snack products. Other products advertised routinely included dairy products, meats, baked goods, fast food, and packaged meals.<\/p>\n

Taste most commonly used message<\/h1>\n

The most popular promotional theme was taste, with over half of ads mentioning a product\u2019s taste and a quarter highlighting a product being new or improved. Other themes we observed seemed to offer solutions to parenting challenges with messages that these products could save time, ensure kids have fun, or create opportunities for quality family bonding. While many advertisements provided information about the content of the product, others used a more indirect route to persuasion, such as images evoking emotional responses. A majority of adver-tisements showed people with positive expressions, and often showed children playing, or families cooking or eating together. Such images are likely to engage a reader in an emotional way, while text about attributes of the product engages a reader in a logical way.<\/p>\n

Claims about health<\/h1>\n

Advertised food products routinely made health claims by reporting levels of specific vitamins and nutrients, or low levels of fat, sodium, sugar, additives, or preservatives. More than half of the advertisements incorporated the words \u201chealthy\u201d or \u201cnutritious\u201d into product descriptions. Approximately one-fifth of advertisements made a direct claim that the product could improve health, for example, by enhancing physical or mental performance or boosting the immune system.<\/p>\n

Helping parents understand ad messages about food<\/h1>\n

Designing and evaluating interventions, including media literacy efforts, may be warranted to help parents be more aware of the advertisements they are exposed to and how to interpret and use the information provided4<\/sup>. Studying nutrition information provided to parents in other forms of media, including websites, is also clearly of interest, as is longitudinal research to see if exposure to nutritional messages, both positive and negative, influence parental attitudes about food and nutrition over time. Increasing consumption of foods like fruits and vegetables to address obesity has been recommended by the World Health Organization, so identifying how media can be used to promote fruit and vegetable consumption would be useful1<\/sup>. A better understanding of the role of media in influencing parents\u2019 food choices is critical if we are to fully appreciate the role that food marketing plays in promoting and potentially combating the growing obesity problem for both children and adults.<\/p>\n
