Study: Teen TV viewing impacts adult fast-food diet
February 1, 2009
The Washington Post: A new study by University of Minnesota researchers suggests that teenagers who watch TV more than five hours a day are prone to a fast-food diet as adults.
Researchers found that television watching — with ads for fast food restaurants, snacks and other unhealthy food choices — continues to impact diet choices five years later. The research, published in the online edition of the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, also drew connections between increased TV viewing and higher caloric intake as well as TV viewing's impact on the food children consume.
