The messages for food ads on TV encourage us to think that what's good or nice to eat is "good for us". In fact, television food ads during kid’s viewing times promote foods high in fat, sugar or salt that are really no good for anyone. The largest categories of foods advertised tend to be chocolate and confectionary, fast food restaurants and sweetened breakfast cereals.
