Abstract
Abundant food and the recent changes in our social environment have caused the change of food life in homes. The actual conditions of food life and nutrition of elementary school children have been investigated and some problems have been considered as follows : 1. Although 90 percent of children take breakfast, one-fourth of them eat late because of late rising and TV watching. 2. Most of the children cannot take meals together with their families every day, not only because of their fathers' working conditions but also their extra attendance at private schools after regular school hours. 3. Nutrition is not extremely poor except calcium, even in the worst case because of the school lunch programs. It is recommended that children take one or more bottles of milk, vegetables and beans.
