Clothing, Eating, and Living are three basic factors in human living. Eating is main factor of human's life maintenance and delightment. We are mostly interested in 'what to eat', but we have relatively less interest in 'how to eat.' So we are focusing on a dietary habit about 'how to eat'. Dietary habit highly affects on our body, and depending on dietary habit, our body can be healthy or our health can be destroyed. Therefore, we started a project which is based on motto of 'healthy dietary habit makes healthy life. We defined 20-30's adults whom have remarkable irregular and fast dietary habit as our target. Furthermore, we are willing to help them to have slow, regular dietary habit. Ultimately we want to deliver the value of health.

Regarding the subjects' self-recognition of their body shape, 27.8% of the normal weight group and 92.5% of the obese group acknowledged themselves to be obese. 58.9% of the normal weight group and 61.0% of the obese group were not satisfied with their own body shape and the difference between two groups was very small, 23.6% of the normal weight group and 87.5% of the obese group have tried to reduce weight. The main causative factor of weight gain that children themselves recognized was a sedentary life style. All the students showed a high rate of irregular and unbalanced diet. The obese children showed a significantly higher rate of skipping meals and eating meals faster than the normal weight children. More obese children disliked exercise, and did less excercise than the normal weight children. There was a negative correlation between the obesity index and the food habit score. In other words, they frequently skip a meals, eat in a hurry and dislike vegetables and dairy products. In addition, there was a positive correlation between the student's BMI and the parents' BMI. Overall, many normal weight children showed a high level of self-consciousness of being obese or underweight. Both groups showed a low degree of satisfaction with their own body shape. Therefore education for the distorted perception of body shape is needed because, even normal weight children have tried to reduce their weight. Obese children should be encouraged to exercise, not skip a meals and eat slowly. They also need a systematic education program on weight reduction and weight maintenance. Moreover, education on a healthy diet, healthy food habits, and healthy body shape are necessary for elementary school children.
