Abstract: Poor diet and inactivity are key factors for the high incidence of obesity among children in US. Using household production theory, we derive the demand for children's health and apply cross-section and pseudo-panel techniques. FAFH has negative impact on children's HEI in both analysis and significant in cross-section analysis.
