Abstract

Many indirect messages about health are portrayed in the various lifestyles displayed in television programs. Social-learning theory explains that these lifestyles are imitated by viewers. A content analysis of the eating behaviors of characters on three popular prime-time family sitcoms reveals that children make relatively nutritious eating choices, adults make relatively nonnutritious eating choices, and snacks make up nearly half of all food consumed.
