Solutions
Parents:
1. Demonstrate healthy eating and exercise habits on a regular basis.
2. Limit the amount their children's exposure to television
3. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ suggests that children watch no more than 1 to 2 hours of quality TV per day, and that the parents watch it with them to discuss the content.
Outside Help:
1. Allowing children to receive the message from TV, magazines, and commercials that healthy snacks are the "cool" thing to be eating, instead of the junk food that is normally advertised.
2. The government needs to provide funds to give existing media-driven advertising campaigns to provide information to children about good nutrition, exercise, and healthy self-esteem.
3. Magazine editors need to find ways to incorporate average sized adults and teens in their publications in order to change the perspective of the ideal woman in society.
