BACKGROUND: Fast food patronage is a frequent reality for many children and their parents. Although there are increasingly healthier alternatives for popular menu items (apple slices instead of French fries), they are infrequently selected.<\/p>\n
OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether either of two priming tactics – the priming of a role model’s food choices or the priming of healthy foods – could influence children to make healthier fast food choices.<\/p>\n
METHODS: In the priming model condition, 22 children (ranging in age from 6 to 12 years) were presented with 12 photos of 6 admirable and 6 less admirable models and asked, ‘Would this person order apple fries or French fries?’ In the health prime condition, the same children were shown 12 photos of 6 healthy foods and 6 less healthy foods and asked to indicate if each food was healthy or unhealthy.<\/p>\n
RESULTS: When children were asked what various admirable people – such as Batman or Spiderman – would eat, 45% chose apple slices over French fries, which was higher than the health prime (P < 0.001) or the control condition (P < 0.001).<\/p>\n
CONCLUSIONS: Advising a parent to ask their child 'What would Batman (or another admired character or person) eat?' might be an easy step to take in what could be a healthier fast food world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-37559","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA.
