Double Standard
- Healthy foods are depicted negatively on screen more frequently than unhealthy foods.
Inherent
- Healthy eating is just not as glamorous on screen and so there will always be a bias to depicted it negatively.
Conservative Biases
- Conservatives often malign healthy foods as a foil to their base and side with special interests over their constituents' health when it comes to encouraging healthy eating and discouraging unhealthy eating habits -- especially with children.
