Food Marketing & Children’s Diets

Kristen Marshall, Chris Preston

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

Today’s children are exposed to an unprecedented number of marketing interventions. Research suggests that from pre-school age they demonstrate some awareness of marketing communications, while brand awareness is very high among those of senior school age. This interactive workshop will explore how marketing targets children, how this influences their food choices, and discuss the ethics of marketing to children. You will learn how marketers strategise to put the food on our plates and we will debate who has greater power over food: children or parents, corporations or society?
