Unhealthy food beliefs and behaviors are learned when children watch television programs, not just advertising (as previously believed). Actors in sitcoms drink soft drinks, eat hot dogs and hamburgers, and generally consume foods known to contribute to diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease and osteoporosis.

Children watching these shows come to believe these nutritional habits are normal, and therein lies the danger: when disease-causing foods appear normal and healthy foods appear foreign, most people are going to choose the familiar foods. In return, they'll contract all the familiar diseases, too.
