Which of the following is true of food determinants among children ages 6 to 12 years of age?

A) Family, school, and screen media time are minor factors related to food behavior.
B) Television ads related to fruits and vegetables positively influence food behaviors.
C) Parents' eating behaviors at home are important determinants of children's food behavior.
D) The quality of food available is not a determinant of food behaviors.
E) Children in this age group consume the majority of their calories outside of school.

Research has consistently shown that parents' eating behaviors, food preferences, and food availability in the home are primary determinants of children's food behavior. Other factors such as school and screen media time can also have an impact, but they are not minor. Television ads for fruits and vegetables have not been shown to have a significant impact on food behavior. The quality of food available is also an important determinant. Finally, while children may consume a significant amount of their calories outside of school, they still spend a considerable amount of time eating and snacking at home.
