Aiming to clarify the priority of food education to be implemented, we fixed an order of priority on issues related to food education from my original viewpoint. Regarding the 15 issues mentioned in the Basic Act on Food Education and the Food Education Promotion Plan, we judged the level of importance from two aspects: (1) the frequency of occurrence of the issue concerned, and (2) cost incurred by the occurrence of the issue concerned. As a result, it was judged that the two issues of “the problem of dependence on foreign countries for foods” and “increase of obesity and lifestyle-related diseases” were the most important issues. Though the “increase of obesity and lifestyle-related diseases” is quite important, it was clarified that related food education activities are not often implemented, that the food education-related budget is low, and that a clear goal has not been established.
