Adolescents participating in a study have reported that TikTok influences what they want to eat. The teens said the social media platform’s food content prompts hunger, cravings, and interest in foods. Meanwhile, food-related content may also bring critical conversations about food, bodies, and misleading health information. The researchers urge parents to interrupt their teens’ exposure to food-related content and to gatekeep from potentially harmful information. The US study included 25 teens aged 15–16 from a school, and included discussions of how they used TikTok, the content they were exposed to, how they assessed it, and their parents’ influence on social media use and eating behaviors.
