| Summary |
Recent times have seen significant changes in the environment regarding the eating habits of Japanese people, including unbalanced nutrition, irregular meals, increases in obesity and lifestyle-related diseases, skipping breakfast, dependence on foreign countries for food, crisis in traditional food culture, and worries about food safety, etc. Based on these changes, the Cabinet Office has carried out the “Survey of Attitude toward Shokuiku” (previously called the “special social survey regarding shokuiku”) continuously since 2005 for the purpose of understanding people’s attitudes toward shokuiku (food and nutrition education) and to serve as reference material for future policies for the promotion of shokuiku. This survey consists of five parts: (1) interest in shokuiku (food and nutrition education)，(2) current eating habits and lifestyle habits, (3) food preparation, (4) selection of food items, and (5) eating meals with family. |
