The Shokuiku Basic Law was examined in detail, and the viewpoints and substance that were necessary for evaluating school lunch services were made clear, from the standpoint of school lunch services and of the menus. By using an evaluation sheet based on these points, menus of school lunch services were tried to evaluate.
There were two descriptions on school lunch services in the law, and eight descriptions in the Basic Plan for Shokuiku Promotion. When the descriptions on school lunch services and on menus were got in order, the following four viewpoints were obtained ; namely “menu composition”, “nutrition and food configuration”, “food materials and production”, and “others”. With the evaluation sheets based on the gist of them, the menus of lunch services of five elementary schools were evaluated. As the results, the situation of the menu of each school was objectively grasped, and several concrete measures to cope with the menu improvement were specified.
