Description

<p>A questionnaire survey on food (rice, milk, grilled chicken, miso soup, and stewed radish) waste during lunchtime, lifestyle habits, food education at home, and early childhood experience with school lunches/daycare meals was conducted on 418 third- and sixth-grade students (218 boys and 200 girls) of an elementary school and 567 students (281 boys and 286 girls) of a junior high school in Osaka City in December, 2017. The association of food waste during lunchtime with lifestyle habits, food education at home, and early childhood experience with school lunches/daycare meals was then examined.</p><p>Differences in food waste across all lunch menus were observed between elementary and junior high school students. Exercise habits showed a significant positive correlation with food waste for all lunch menus. There was a significant correlation of bedtimes with not finishing milk, grilled chicken, and stewed radish. Food education at home was high in those who finished their milk, and early childhood experience with daily school lunches/daycare meals was high in those who finished their rice. These results suggest that factors affecting waste differ depending on the ingredients used for school lunches, in addition to the factors affecting overall food waste at lunch.</p>
