    How Exposure to Advertising in Childhood Can Create Biased Product Evaluations That Persist into Adulthood Paul M. Connell, Stony Brook University Merrie Brucks, The University of Arizona Jesper H. Nielsen, The University of Arizona Marketing vs. Advertising • According to the American Marketing Association (AMA), advertising is one of several marketing functions. • Definitions from AMA’s website (https://www.ama.org/resources/Pages/Dictionary.aspx): ▫ Marketing Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large (emphasis added). ▫ Advertising The placement of announcements and persuasive messages in time or space purchased in any of the mass media by business firms, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and individuals who seek to inform and/ or persuade members of a particular target market or audience about their products, services, organizations, or ideas (emphasis added). Genesis of Project • Observation: American university students eat a lot of pre- sweetened cereal, even though those ads are targeted to very young children. • Question: Might there be some long-lasting effects from the ads they saw as children? • How might that happen? Age of Acquisition Effects on Memory Brand names and category associations learned early in life are recognized more quickly and accurately than those acquired later in life. (Ellis, Holmes, and Wright 2009) • Early acquired concepts are more firmly embedded in semantic memory than are later acquired concepts. (Steyvers and Tenenbaum 2005) • Early acquired concepts shape neural networks into an efficient form for representing them, resisting attempts at reconfiguration by later-learned concepts.

    Teaching Case ______________________________ Journal of Applied Case Research Sponsored by the Southwest Case Research Association Kellogg’s Healthier Cereals: An Ethical Dilemma? Thomas D. Tolleson Texas Wesleyan University The genesis of this case was the result of a class project. The author would like to thank Marco Guzman, Matty Horton, Shayla Impson, Chris Taylor and Courtney Williams for their contributions to this case. © Journal of Applied Case Research Accepted: December 2007 INTRODUCTION Vicki thought of herself as a good mother. She planned her grocery purchases and attempted to provide nutritional food for her husband and son. Her three-year-old son, Chaden, was a “picky” eater, so finding healthy foods that he would eat was a challenge, especially at breakfast. About the only food that Chaden would eat for breakfast was cereal. He was particularly fond of Kellogg’s Frosty Flakes and thought “Tony the Tiger” was super. She had even made Chaden a “Tony the Tiger” costume for Halloween. Vicki could usually get Chaden to eat breakfast when she said that “Tony the Tiger” was proud of him for eating a bowl of Frosty Flakes and milk. Vicki was concerned, however, with the sugar content of Frosty Flakes. She had recently returned to school to pursue a degree in early childhood education and had researched the impact of sugar on children’s health, especially childhood obesity. She was relieved when Kellogg’s introduced a low-sugar version of its Frosty Flakes. Vicki was pleased that Chaden’s favorite cereal was now a healthy choice. Or was it?

    World Nutrition Volume 5, Number 3, March 2014 World Nutrition Volume 5, Number 3, March 2014 Journal of the World Public Health Nutrition Association Published monthly at www.wphna.org Processing. Breakfast food Amazing tales of ready-to-eat breakfast cereals Melanie Warner Boulder, Colorado, US Emails: [email protected] Introduction There are products we all know or should know are bad for us, such as chips (crisps), sodas (soft drinks), hot dogs, cookies (biscuits), and a lot of fast food. Nobody has ever put these items on a healthy list, except perhaps industry people. Loaded up with sugar, salt and white flour, they offer about as much nutritional value as the packages they’re sold in. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, the obvious stuff. The reach of the processed food industry goes a lot deeper than we think, extending to products designed to look as if they’re not really processed at all. Take, for instance, chains that sell what many people hope and believe are ‘fresh’ sandwiches. But since when does fresh food have a brew of preservatives like sodium benzoate and calcium disodium EDTA, meat fillers like soy protein, and manufactured flavourings like yeast extract and hydrolysed vegetable protein? Counting up the large number of ingredients in just one sandwich can make you cross-eyed. I first became aware of the enormity of the complex field known as food science back in 2006 when I attended an industry trade show. That year IFT, which is for the Institute of Food Technologists, and is one of the food industry’s biggest gatherings, was held in New Warner M.
