Unhealthy food beliefs and behaviors are learned
when children watch television programs, not just advertising (as
previously believed). Actors in sitcoms drink soft drinks, eat hot dogs
and hamburgers, and generally consume foods known to contribute to
diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease and osteoporosis.
Children watching these shows come to believe these nutritional habits
are normal, and therein lies the danger: when disease-causing foods
appear normal and healthy foods appear foreign, most people are going to
choose the familiar foods. In return, they'll contract all the familiar
diseases, too.
