Japanese parents Raise Successful Eaters by following the philosophy of "shokuiku," which teaches children about the origins and effects of food. This approach, combined with a well-balanced meal style called "ichijū-sansai," helps to ensure that children have a healthy diet. Japanese schools also play a role in promoting shokuiku, with many having a school lunch system planned by nutritionists. Additionally, homemade bento lunches allow children to try new foods and avoid high-fat options. Overall, Japan has some of the world's healthiest children, with fewer than one in five being overweight.
