Abstract
In order to get basic material for the nutritional education, which is to eliminate the fateful feeding habit of rural districts, we surveyed the liking of proteinous foods of the inhabitants of a agricultural community named Obara village which is under the administration of the Toyoda Health Center.
(1) In this survey of the liking to the proteinous food of the agricultural population of Obara village, we found remarkable differences of liking between both sex, age groups and food groups respectively.
(2) Children, adolescents and adults of both sex of Obara village revealed their highest liking to eggs among proteinous foods. On the other hand, their no-liking to meat, chicken and milk was striking. In this, it must be noted that this no-liking was especially high among boys, girl adobescents and women adults.
From these findings, we realize keenly that, at the time of education for diet improvement of rural areas, special attention must be paid to this multistratal structure of food liking, such. as sex, age, and, at the same time, to the importance of education from the side of production and circulation of animal protein, commodities.
