To address the obesity crisis, public health experts recommend major reductions in the marketing of unhealthy food to youth. However, policies to restrict food marketing are not currently viewed as politically feasible. This paper examines attitudes and knowledge about food marketing and support for restricting unhealthy food marketing [corrected] among one group of constituents: parents. A survey of 807 parents found that those most likely to support food marketing restrictions were also more likely to have negative views of current food practices. [corrected] These findings suggest that increased public education about the harm caused by food marketing may increase public support for policy interventions.
为了解决肥胖危机，公共卫生专家建议大幅减少向青少年推销不健康食品的行为。然而，限制食品营销的政策目前在政治上并不被视为可行。本文研究了一组选民（父母）对食品营销的态度、知识以及对限制不健康食品营销的支持。对 807 名家长进行的调查发现，最支持食品营销限制的家长也更有可能对当前的食品做法持负面看法。这些发现表明，加强公众对食品营销造成的危害的教育，可能会增加公众对政策干预的支持。
