Abstract
In order to study the resent diversification tendency of the dietary lives in Japan, especialy the increase of dining-out use of processed foods, a questionnaire was made to survey the homes of the students of Home Economics Dept., Shukugawa Gakuin Junior College. The results show that common daily life foods tend to be self-cooked and, an the other hand, foods such as seasoning, pickles, juices, etc, are rarely self-cooked. The reasons of dining-out and use of processed foods are, mainly 1) saving of labor and time, 2) search of unfamiliar and more or less luxurious foods.
