Abstract

Marketing social marketing obesity
This paper presents the continuum of influences that primary caregivers (namely parents) experience and the subsequent impact of these on the feeding of their young children. These influences on caregivers may commence from their own childhoods, through their life experiences to the birth and early infancy of their children. The paper highlights caregivers' concerns and dilemmas in feeding young children, particularly in the face of conflict between nutritional recommendations and socially acceptable behaviours and attitudes.
