Explain, from a developmental perspective, the hazards of a poor, high-fat diet

Posted: September 9th, 2023

Explain, from a developmental perspective, the hazards of a poor, high-fat diet for children’s development. Discuss the inappropriateness of luring children (and their parents) to purchase special “kid’s meals” and accompanying toys. Focus on the argument that spending advertising dollars to highlight such meals and toys, along with offering popular, trendy toys, contributes to the poor nutrition habits of children too young to understand the hazards (think classical conditioning). Discuss realistic options parents have in combating the attraction that advertising has on them and their children.
