An ethical analysis is crucial for the role of the family in the development of eating habits of their children. This study
covers a bioethical contextualization about the influence of advertisement in caretakers as to the purchase and selection
of food offered for children of early childhood education. The study population was composed of 162 caretakers
of children, enrolled in municipal schools of childhood education in 2013, and the data was collected by means of
questionnaires sent in children’s agenda. Interviewees highlighted the healthiness of the food as decisive factor for the
purchase of food (77.2%), whereas the media was reported as the minor influencing factor in the purchase of food
(63%). This study demonstrates that caretakers do have concerns as to the choice of foods to be purchased and offered
to children. The ethical aspects must always come ahead of economic and other secondary interests such as social
status.
