Research shows junk food endorsed by celebrities tend to be more popular amongst children. Three advertisements were showed to a group children from ages eight to eleven. Of the three advertisements one had a celebrity which endorsed the product while the other two did not. In the end, the product endorsed by a celebrity was more well received by the children then the other two products which were celebrity-less. Thus health advisers are advising parents to lead by example and allow children to learn to healthier eating from young.
In my opinion i feel this this is a very important finding as many commercials today are celebrity endorsed. Through this study, educators and parents will have a better idea on what to do and how to teach their children to eat more healthily. However i feel that this study could potentially be misused by huge corporations to increase the sales of their products, thus leading to an increase in the number of obese children.
