Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated. Children, Media, and Junk Food [WLOs: 1, 3] [CLO: 1]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the article Policy Statement—Children, Adolescents, Obesity, and the Media (Links to an external site.) and watch the video We’re Not Buying It: Stop Junk Food Marketing to Kids (Links to an external site.). Proper health and nutrition is critical to the growth and development of young children, yet many American children eat in ways that do not meet proper nutrition guidelines. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the media, and its promotion of junk food, is a major culprit in the obesity epidemic.

In your discussion post, address the following: Describe an example of how the media participates in promoting unhealthy food choices. Explain how these messages influence the nutrition choices that families make for their children. What are two reasons a family would choose fast food for their children? Summarize potential long-term consequences of these media messages on children’s health.

Guided Response:Read and respond to at least two of your classmates, supplying at least one strategy teachers can use to combat unhealthy media messages in the early childhood setting.

Though two replies are the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you. Remember that continuously engaging with peers and the instructor will further the conversation and provide opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and experiences with this topic.
