  1. Eating and Eating Disorders Arika Zimmerman and Allie Rhodes

  2. “Television presents viewers with two sets of conflicting messages. One suggests that we eat in ways almost guaranteed to make us fat; the other suggests that we strive to remain slim.” – L. Kaufman (1980, p. 45) • “Research shows that virtually all women are ashamed of their bodies. It used to be adult women, teenage girls, who were ashamed, but now you see the shame down to very young girls – 10, 11 years old. Society’s standard of beauty is an image that is literally just short of starvation for most women.” – Author Mary Pipher, People Magazine, June 3, 1996

  8. Eating Disorders • Television can serve as an important source of information for young children and teens about food and eating habits. • More American children are becoming obese while more American teenagers continue to suffer from eating disorders. • “For example, a major study of nearly 2,500 middle school teens in North Carolina found that 10% of the girls and 5% of the boys reported vomiting or using laxatives to lose weight.” (Krowchuk, Kreiter, Woods, Sinal, & Durant, 1998)

  9. What is Advertised? (108 Ads)

  10. Other Problems • In a study of 9 and 10 year olds, more than half believed that Ronald McDonald knows what is best for children to eat (Food Commission, 1997). • Healthy foods are advertised less than 3% of the time. • Many food ads contain violence (62%), conflicts (41%), and trickery (20%). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4okJZpq_sPs (Trix Cereal)
