Registered Dietitian Urges: Don't Let The Food Companies Cast A Harry Potter Like Spell On Your Kids
North Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) July 21, 2025 -- While recent announcements from large food and beverage corporations that they will be restricting the marketing of their products to children are encouraging, one registered dietitian is still wary. Jayson Hunter, RD, CSCS is determined to have the success of the Harry Potter books help reduce childhood obesity.
"It's simple really: The large food companies are fantastic marketers. And they're in business to sell their products. I don't fault them for that", Hunter was quoted as saying. "But since they are so good at what they do it's as if they cast a Harry Potter like spell on your kids."
The registered dietitian of ten years expanded his point by adding, "The new book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows can help raise awareness. How? By teaching parents just how magical the marketing of large corporations can be."
Here are three warnings from Hunter to help parents fight off the food marketing wizards:
1) It's no coincidence your child's favorite television characters promote foods filled with sugar. And if it contains trans fats or partially hydrogenated oils then avoid that product.
2) Remember that as much as 98% of kids advertising on a Saturday morning is for unhealthy foods. Commercials during these shows are directly aimed at your child, so it's very important parents are keeping an eye on what they are watching.
3) Deceptive labeling can even convince parents that junk food is somehow wholesome. For example some cereals promote the inclusion of whole grains. What they fail to promote is the fact most of the calories come from sugar.
Jayson Hunter, RD, CSCS is a registered dietitian, weight management expert and personal trainer with over 10 years of experience. His programs have helped hundreds of clients lose weight permanently via healthy lifestyle changes. Journalists can easily reach Jayson for interviews and story ideas.

Health Food
Does your kid often eat junk food? Chances are, the answer to that one is a resounding yes because, as all parents know, children everywhere in the world absolutely love junk food such as hamburgers, pizza, candy, soda and salty foods like potato chips and french fries.

High-Sugar Foods And Dental Caries
Foods high in sugar are popular in American diets. These empty-calorie foods (e.g., candy, soft drinks, sweetened gelatin, and some desserts) provide energy but contain little or no dietary fiber, vitamins, or minerals. Studies link the rising prevalence of obesity in children to consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks. On average, Americans drink 53 gallons of soda per year 40% more than two decades ago. Consider that one 12 ounce soft drink contain 10 to 12 teaspoons of sugar. Would you add that much sugar to a glass of ices tea?
