Children these days are significantly exposed to beverage and food promotions. Berry, Burton, and Howlett (2017) investigated the interaction of sugar-sweetened beverage and fast-food consumption, together with the frequency of engaging in physical activities in bringing about the chances of children becoming obese or overweight. An important concern, like Berry, Burton, and Howlett (2017) stated in the article, is the compensatory role of physical activities and exercises in counterbalancing the effects of sugar-sweetened drinks and fast food consumption on the obesity in children. A total of 4,000 youngsters aged 5-11 years took part in the study. As per their findings, physical activities can to some extent offset the direct relationship between sugar-sweetened drinks consumption and childhood obesity, as well as between fast food consumption and childhood obesity (Berry, Burton & Howlett, 2017).

In their article, Moore, Wilkie, and Desrochers (2017) focused on the way a child is socialized by his/her household away from or towards childhood obesity. The article advances a household consumer socialization framework in characterizing the major processes and elements. Obesity in childhood, as Moore, Wilkie, and Desrochers (2017) pointed out, is a serious health challenge around the world. Eating habits and households are at the nexus of this issue because obesity in children greatly depends upon family-related influences such as food consumption practices in the family, physical activities, and genetic predispositions.
Robinson, S. M. (2017). Preventing childhood obesity: Early-life messages from epidemiology. Nutrition Bulletin, 42(3), 219-225. doi:10.1111/nbu.12277
According to Robinson (2017), the high rates of childhood obesity at the moment underscore the need for preventive strategies in early life before the children gain excess weight. At the moment, there is epidemiological evidence linking experience in fetal and early postnatal life to a person’s risk of becoming obese later in life. This underscores the significance as well as the role of developmental influences, for instance, short duration of breastfeeding, excess gestational weight gain, and maternal obesity in the etiol...
