Latinx and White Adolescents’ Preferences for Latinx-Targeted Celebrity and Noncelebrity Food Advertisements: Experimental Survey Study

Latinx and White Adolescents’ Preferences for Latinx-Targeted Celebrity and Noncelebrity Food Advertisements: Experimental Survey Study

Food marketing is a major driver of adolescent and childhood obesity [12-16]. Food companies spend more than US $1.8 billion on youth-directed marketing [17,18], which primarily promotes products that are energy-dense and nutrient-poor [19-22]. Such exposure is concerning given the large body of evidence showing that viewing food advertising increases children’s preferences for promoted foods and brands, caloric intake, purchases, and requests for advertised products [2,16,23-26].

Artificial Intelligence Applications to Measure Food and Nutrient Intakes: Scoping Review

Artificial Intelligence Applications to Measure Food and Nutrient Intakes: Scoping Review

Measuring food and nutrient intake is foundational in nutrition research, dietary surveillance, and clinical practice [1]. Traditional methods, such as 24-hour dietary recalls, food diaries, and food frequency questionnaires, have been the cornerstones of such endeavors [2]. However, these self-reported tools frequently encounter issues associated with recall error, where individuals inadvertently omit, underreport, or exaggerate certain food items or quantities [3].

Virtual Reality–Based Food and Beverage Marketing: Potential Implications for Young People of Color, Knowledge Gaps, and Future Research Directions

Virtual Reality–Based Food and Beverage Marketing: Potential Implications for Young People of Color, Knowledge Gaps, and Future Research Directions

Exposure to unhealthy food and beverage marketing is a major contributor to excessive weight gain in youth [1,2]. Youth exposed to food and beverage advertising (“ads”) demonstrate more preferences for advertised foods, higher purchase intention, and increased food consumption compared to youth exposed to nonfood ads [3-9]. Data examining food marketing on digital platforms (eg, social media and gaming) also show influences on food preferences and consumption [10-17].

Developing the DIGIFOOD Dashboard to Monitor the Digitalization of Local Food Environments: Interdisciplinary Approach

Developing the DIGIFOOD Dashboard to Monitor the Digitalization of Local Food Environments: Interdisciplinary Approach

Thus, increased access to food outlets enabled by online food delivery has the potential to further exacerbate existing obesogenic food environments. Rising consumption of out-of-home foods contributing to unhealthy diets has been observed in countries including Australia [13], China [14,15], and the United Kingdom [16]. It is therefore critical to examine existing food environments and changes resulting from the digitalization of food environments.

A Deep Learning–Based Rotten Food Recognition App for Older Adults: Development and Usability Study

A Deep Learning–Based Rotten Food Recognition App for Older Adults: Development and Usability Study

As such, older adults are in danger of being exposed to food poisoning if they ingest rotten food items due to the difficulty detecting whether the items have gone bad. Food poisoning is caused by the ingestion of toxic substances, as well as bacteria contained in rotten food items [7]. To address this danger, researchers have developed and evaluated tools to detect rotten food items [8,9] for unspecified users or specific users, such as people with olfactory impairment.
