Media, such as television, movies, and the Internet, are important sources of information for children. These media can affect children's and adolescents' attitudes and behaviors toward a number of health behaviors, including smoking, violence, and nutrition. There is concern about the impact of media food advertising to children because of links between these advertisements and the growing problem of childhood obesity.
