  • Should We Use Popular Brands to Promote Healthy Eating Among Children?
    Public Health Nutrition: 13(12), 2064–2067 doi:10.1017/S1368980010000893 Should we use popular brands to promote healthy eating among children? Ingibjorg Gunnarsdottir1,2,* and Inga Thorsdottir1,2 1Unit for Nutrition Research, University of Iceland and Landspitali University Hospital, Eiriksgata 29, 101 Reykjavik, Iceland: 2Faculty of Food Science and Nutrition, School of Health Sciences, University of Iceland, Vatnsmyrarvegur 16, 101 Reykjavik, Iceland Submitted 19 August 2009: Accepted 16 March 2010: First published online 4 May 2010 Abstract Objective: Studies indicate that food and beverages typically marketed to children are products high in fat, sugar and salt. LazyTown is an entertainment brand with a focus on healthy lifestyle, aimed at making health education entertaining. The aim of the present study was to assess whether children perceive food to taste better with a LazyTown label on the wrapping compared with the original packaging. Design: Five pairs of identical food and beverage samples were introduced. We aimed to select healthy food and beverages from various food groups. Preference for the LazyTown food was coded as 11, no preference 0 and preference for the original food as 21. An average ‘preference score’ was calculated for each subject by adding up the answers. Setting: Three pre-schools in the Greater Reykjavik area, Iceland. Subjects: Subjects were pre-school children aged 3?5 to 6 years (n 66). Results: Most children answered correctly that there was no difference in the taste between the two identical food samples. However, between 27 and 42 % (depending on the product) of children preferred the taste of LazyTown food and beverages despite the fact that the test food was identical.

  • Future of Childrens Television
    An independent report on The Future of Children’s Television Programming Deliberative research summary Prepared by Opinion Leader Publication date: 2nd October 2007 1 Contents 1. Executive summary 2. Introduction 3. The role of children's television 4. Satisfaction with children’s television 5. Public Service Broadcasting 6. Availability of children's programmes and channels 7. Range of children’s programme genres 8. New programmes and repeats 9. Country of origin of children’s programmes 10. Ideal futures for the provision of children’s programmes 11. Appendices 2 Executive summary Background Ofcom initiated the review of children’s television programming in response to a number of consumer and market changes. These include an increase in the range of media available to many children and a growing number of dedicated children’s channels, as well as changes in the way children consume media. As a result, traditional commercial public service broadcasters are facing significant pressures on their ability to fund original programming for children. These changes are occurring in the context of a new framework for the regulation of children’s programming, set out in the Communications Act 2003. Since the Act, ITV1, which had historically played a role in delivering a strong alternative voice to the BBC in terms of children’s programmes, has significantly reduced its commitments to children’s programming. This development, together with the other consumer and market changes outlined above, has led many to ask how public service children’s programming can continue to be delivered in the future. The Communications Act requires Ofcom to report on the fulfilment of the public service broadcasters’ public service remit at least once every five years and to make recommendations with a view to maintaining and strengthening the quality of public service broadcasting in the future.

  • W.P. Rawl's School Foodservice Program Growing with Lazytown Product License
    - Advertisement - W.P. Rawl's school foodservice program growing with LazyTown product license December 12, 2010 Pelion, SC-based Walter P. Rawl & Sons Inc. is wrapping up the year, pleased to have provided over 3 million servings of "LazyTown" SportsCandy fresh fruits and vegetables to schoolchildren throughout the Southeast. In 2009, W.P. Rawl partnered with LazyTown Entertainment to pack single- serve fruits and vegetables under the “LazyTown” brand. That partnership, along with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Fresh Fruit & Vegetable program, has helped W.P. Rawl provide a variety of fruit and vegetable snacks to over 500 schools in eight states. Ashley Rawl, director of sales and marketing for W.P. Rawl, said in a Dec. 7 press release, "As a father first, I understand the importance of getting kids to eat more fruits and vegetables -- at home and in school. The efforts of lawmakers to create more programs that put fruits and vegetables in the hands of kids is a good first step to changing the eating habits of America. Our job as growers is to make the products taste good and appeal to children. For us, that's where 'LazyTown’ fits in." “LazyTown” is the global entertainment brand dedicated to kid's health. In the LazyTown television show, SportsCandy is what the healthy role models call fresh fruits and vegetables. For example, Sportacus, the show's main super hero, eats SportsCandy to gain energy. The result is that kids feel empowered to choose SportsCandy for themselves because LazyTown presents fruits and veggies in a fun, non-preachy way to kids.

  • What You Learn Is What You Watch
    UNIVERSIDAD DE CHILE FACULTAD DE FILOSOFÍA y HUMANIDADES DEPARTAMENTO DE LINGÜÍSTICA WHAT YOU LEARN IS WHAT YOU WATCH Behaviouristic discourse strategies in children TV shows Informe final de Seminario de Grado para optar al grado de Licenciado en Lengua y Literatura Inglesas Autores Valentina Campos Exequiel Ortega Iván Pereira Felipe Rapimán Danilo Salazar Profesor Guía Saeid Atoofi Santiago, Chile Diciembre 2014 What you learn is what you watch 2 Abstract TV shows for children are generally linked purely with entertainment, although there are certain shows that look to teach something to their audience. This teaching is carried out through many different strategies. Little attention has been paid to this type of shows as educative devises and also to the kind of strategies they use in order to reach the purpose of teaching. In general, also little attention has been paid to how the process of teaching and learning is carried out through this type of shows and what are the characteristics of this process. This study focuses on discursive techniques used by these shows and what specific discourse strategies are used in order to achieve the goal of teaching. The discourse strategies analysed by this work correspond to behaviouristic model of learning in the context of children TV shows. For that purpose, 29 shows and 2 movies were used as data. This data was analysed strictly under the scope of behaviourism. The shows were analysed and their dialogues transcribed in order to found and put forward key instances of discursive strategies of behaviourism present in these shows. Throughout the analysis of these shows, five main discursive strategies were found, namely: Stimulus and Response, Repetition, Reward and Punishment, Sugar Coating, and Reinforcement.
