food advertising, gender, ethnicity, and age  

Definition

  • According to Advertising Age, U.S. advertising spending for food, beverages, and candy in 2004 was approximately $6.8 billion, placing it sixth highest among all product categories. Some researchers have suggested that advertising for food products accounts for as much 10 to 15 commercials per viewer every hour on TV. Because many food advertisers realize that young people are a very important target audience, programming and media geared toward children and adolescents also tend to contain a high percentage of advertisements for food products.
