Marketing to children

Growing number of products are marketing to infant and school-aged children. So, some people began to think should they allow companies market all their products to children, even it makes children become fat and get lots of bad habits?Advertisements offer shopping conveniences, but unlimited marketing to children will have bad influences to their f ood p references , habits and customs and disturb their family payments balance. First of all,children’s f ood p references are not built, which means it’s very easy to be changed. According to Danielle , Anna R. , Bettina and Margaret (2012) “children’s attitude toward the advertised product will be affected by a significant interaction between involvement level and argument strength”. Take McDonald for example, McDonald publish their advertisements, which usually are a goup of children are eating McDonald’s burgles and fries or a very clear picture about burgles or fried chicken. Children are easily be attracted by those pictures or advertisements, which means children will want to buy this products and enjoy those unhealthy food just like what they saw in those advertisements, and a big amount of junk food eating will makes children over-weight.Chips’s companies use attractive pictures to push children buy their chips, and chips also will makes children over-weight. Janet(1998) found that pictures are important dressing to make even a boring book looks charming.So,attractive pictures and words make school-age children pay attention to those food which was showed in those ads and change their food preferences, even those food are junk food and will make them over-weight. Further more, children’s habits and customs would be affect by advertisements. As Danielle , Anna R. , Bettina and Margaret

    In Moss’ article he mentions how junk food companies learn of the negative affects their products have on the population but ignore it and continue to market to their fatty food to naïve children. Larger companies know that healthy food doesn’t sell so they sell their food as a necessity to kids who don’t know the negative effects, they lie in order to profit financially. But sometimes healthier options aren’t even an option at all for junk food companies and are often shut down immediately, an example of healthy alternatives failure would be burger king’s “Satisfries”. “Satisfries” was Burger Kings’ healthy alternative to their normal fries containing “20% fewer calories and 25% less fat than Burger King's classic fries, and 30% fewer calories and 40% less fat than McDonald's fries” (Jargon) but this healthy alternative managed to bitterly affect Burger Kings’ sales, stock, and reputation and were later recalled and ridiculed as the “saddest-fries”. Although some companies attempted to force healthy alternatives nonchalantly such as Kraft removing artificial ingredients or Coke replacing cane sugar with corn syrup, the change can be quite noticeable and few who notice the difference protest the new formula. The same can be seen in Moss’ article in which Kraft’s lunchables attempted to add vegetables but were later removed since “once in…
