Abstract

  A survey of the actual lunchboxes of preschool children was conducted among the parents of kindergarteners to consider their problems and issues. The obtained results are as follows.:<br>  1. Approximately one-third of the preschool childrens' lunchboxes could be referred to as “pretty much homemade”.<br>  2. In preparing the lunchboxes, many of the parents gave special consideration to their children's favorite foods, color arrangement, easy edibilty, nutritional balance, etc, but few thought about food safety.<br>  3. 62.5 percent of the parents appropriately replied that the lunchbox contents account for approximately one-third of the total energy for one day.<br>  4. Rice was mostly used as the staple food in the lunchboxes, though only a few used plain white rice while many others used flavored boiled rice or rice balls.<br>  5. An average of 5.6 side dishes were included in the lunchboxes.<br>  6. An overlap in dishes prepared using oil was seen, together with the frequent use of meat, whereas the use of fish and vegetables was rather low, which was an issue.<br>  7. Furthermore, expanding the child raising assistance project by incorporating food supporting programs is desired.
