Abstract:
This paper
presents a study which showed that consumption of fast food has a significant
impact on the lips of children who develop poor dietary preferences.
Quotation:
« The findings, published online in the
journal Appetite suggest that children with detailed mental representations of
fast food and soda brands – as developed by advertising and experience – have
higher scores on an ‘added flavour’ sugar/fat/salt (SFS) liking palate.
“If taste preference is playing a role in the obesity epidemic, how can
we identify a starting point for change? … It seems that we must begin by
addressing the development of palate and the preference for particular foods
and thus, we must start with young children,” said the authors, co-author Dr.
T. Bettina Cornwell from the University of Oregon.
“This research on child palate contributes to the potential for change
by firstly identifying that early food-related behaviours are important to the
discussion and by offering a new focus for food manufacturers, policy, and
future research,” they said. »
