A mother tells you that she does not allow her young children to eat while the watch television, even though her husband often eats high-fat, sugary foods while they watch television as a fami-ly. The most important thing to discuss with her is
a. the genetic factor of preference for sweet and salty tastes.
b. the influence of ethnicity on preference for sour tastes.
c. the children's weights when they were born and their weights now.
d. the environmental effects of parental food choices and television watching.
D
Because young children spend so much time with their families, their parents' food choices have a major impact on their own future food choices. Preventing young children from eating while watching television will have only short-term impact and they are likely to join their father in eating high-fat, high-sugar snacks. The father's food preferences are probably influenced by ge-netics and ethnicity and it may be interesting to find out if the children currently have a healthy weight for their height (although there birth weight is probably not relevant), but these have less immediate impact on the nutritional health of this family.
