Food Policy for Health in Japan
1992
Fukuba, Hiroyasu
In this half century, dietary habits in Japan have greatly changed and there is some confusion about what is healthy. In this report the causes of the confusion are analysed. To establish a healthy and normal dietary life, the recommendations for the public were considered from the various standpoints. There have been great changes in economic and social factors, and in supply and availability. Consumers rate convenience, diversity, good taste, healthiness, and “fashionableness” as important. To create a new food culture, the following three points would become the base; 1. It is necessary for each of us to have a sense of responsibility for our eating habits and our health. 2. We must cooperate with family and friends to work for the creation of an abundant and enjoyable dining table. 3. We have reached the stage in our dining culture where we must think not about what to eat, but how to eat, what conduct we should use when eating, and about our awareness of eating and what we are eating.
