Diets rich in unhealthy fats, sugars, and processed foods may disrupt neurotransmitter function, inflammation, and oxidative stress pathways in the brain, contributing to alterations in mood regulation and emotional well-being. Junk food consumption has been shown to negatively impact cognitive function, learning, and academic performance in children. Diets high in refined sugars and unhealthy fats have been associated with impaired memory, attention, and executive function, potentially compromising children’s ability to concentrate, retain information, and succeed academically. The marketing and advertising of junk food products targeted at children through television, digital media, product placements, and celebrity endorsements play a significant role in shaping children’s food preferences, consumption patterns, and brand loyalty. These marketing tactics often promote unhealthy food choices and encourage excessive consumption of sugary snacks, fast food, and sugary beverages. Socioeconomic factors, including income level, education, and access to healthy food options, can significantly impact children’s dietary habits and nutritional status. Children from low-income families are disproportionately affected by food insecurity, limited access to fresh, nutritious foods, and an overabundance of cheap, energy-dense junk food options, exacerbating health disparities and widening the gap in childhood obesity rates. The food environment, encompassing factors such as food availability, accessibility, affordability, and cultural norms, plays a critical role in shaping children’s dietary choices and eating behaviors. Communities characterized by an abundance of fast food restaurants, convenience stores, and vending machines offering junk food options may promote overconsumption of these nutritionally poor foods and hinder access to healthier alternatives.
