Research Abstract |
To clarify how parents' dietary life patterns affect those of their children, following investigations were made. 1) Similarity of Cooking Similarity of cooking between parents and their children was studied by comparing the dishes they cook, centering on selection of ingredients and taste of dishes. Children used almost same ingredients that their parents used, but the taste varied very widely between the dishes preparing by parents and those by their children. Most children said to try to make up similar taste to their parents', but they failed. It suggests cooking ingredients and procedures are mostly inherited, but making up similar taste is not easily inherited. 2) Similarity of taste preference Similarity of taste preference between parents and their children was studied using taste test. Family members tend to have similar taste preference, especially between mother and their children. But households that family members prefer the taste of home meal replacements, similarity tends to be low. Therefore, taste preference is developed through eating dishes in their households. 3) Similarity of dietary life patterns Inquires about dietary life patterns were given to both parents and their children, and comparison was made. It is found that dietary life patterns that a person experienced in his childhood have great affection to his present dietary life.
