I was one of over 100 million people watching the Superbowl! Superbowl is not only known for the exciting AFC vs NFC championship game but it is also well known for its unique commercials.
In fact, the commercials are one of the highlights that people actually look for and judge for uniqueness and cleverness! So I also watched these commercials, but for a slightly different reason.
We know that among those 100 million + viewers are a great deal of children. It is estimated that over 17 million children watch the Super Bowl every year.
What type of commercials are being marketed during the superbowl? What food marketing are kids seeing during the Superbowl? What are the most clever, well viewed and appealing commercials being shown to kids?
Well, here is what we promoted to children: beer, cars and fast foods among the most popular commercials
Did you notice there wasn't one healthy food commercial? If we really want to make a difference in children's mind, we have to change our priorities. Isn't there room for even one healthy foods commercial?
It's clear that you can't rely on the media to help promote healthy eating to kids. But parents, you are still the most powerful advertisement. Your food choices and attitudes about healthy eating will still have a very big impact on your child's choices and habits.
So use these special occasions, family gatherings and holiday events to promote fun and healthy eating to kids. With a little imagination, it can be a lot of fun to eat healthy!
