Abstract
This paper investigates the relationship between the consciousness and the actual conditions of healthy life; and the consciousness, the knowledge, and the actual conditions of food life which is a part of healthy life. The author selected the seniors of junior high schools as the subjects. This research is the first step to set up the new contents of homemaking education from the view point of health. The results are as follows : 1. Majority of the students failed to recognize homemaking education as an important subject for healthy life. 2. Majority of the students had a narrow view of health; they felt healthy when they themselves were physically healthy. Their cognitions toward health failed to extend to their environment. 3. The idea of health tended to influence maintenance of knowledge about food life. 4. Whether or not they controlled their health tended to influence how to spend their actual food life.
