Abstract
Food area in the curriculum of home economics education is divided into three major parts, nutrients, foodstuffs and cooking methods. Education on the foods is going into details, but it leaves some rooms for consideration on the biological qualifications of human being(Homo sapiens). The qualifications Which is relating to the food habit of human being, such as dental morphology, age and racial differences of digestive enzymes, have very important meanings to ensure the health of human being, but it put emphasis only the cultural meanings of food, and the biological qualifications of human being are buried in oblivion. I discussed on the comparisons of food habits among mammals, natural environmental factors which reflect to the food-life of the area, and transition of the food-life of Japanese people. Low-risk from cancer and heart disease among Seventh-Day Adventists and other vegetarians those are revealed from 1960's, are considered that their food-life are very closed to the food habit of human being, and it should be concerned to these facts and biological qualifications of man to the food education in the curriculum of home economics education from the view point of the health.
