This study was undertaken to investigate the dietary behavior and sugar intake of korean school children. The subject were 131 school lunch program children and 149 non school lunch program children lived in Soung Nam city. Sugar intake, food intake, dietary behavior and anthropometric measurement were studied through personal interview using 24-hour recall dietary data and records. Total daily energy and nutrient intake of children were higher than RDAs except for intake of Calcium and vitamin A. The nutrients intake of school lunch program children were significantly higher than that of non school lunch program children (p〈0.05). The range of daily sugar intake was 10 g to 220 g and the total daily sugar intake was 63.0±37.4 g. Sugar intake of school lunch program children (51.4±25.7 g) was significantly lower than non school lunch program children (73.1±42.9 g) (p〈0.0001). The more sugar intake increase more intake of Energy, Fat and Carbohydrate. The result of stepwise multiple regression analysis using the sugar intake of children as dependent variable, energy, vitamin B2, protein, niacin, calcium school lunch program, education of fathers are significant explanatory variables, explaining 44.8% of variation. Result of this study suggest that school lunch program is desirable for good dietary behavior and decreation of sugar intake of school children.

A study of eating behavior was conducted among 274 children of Nan Hyang elementary school, located in low income area of Seoul, where a school lunch program is not operated. During weekdays, 19.6% of children ate breakfast and 18.4% ate supper alone or with their siblings. The school provided boxed lunches for 10.5% of the children with governmental funds, who were chosen by the school based on their household income. But the percentage of the children skipping breakfast was 14.6%, lunch 10.3% and supper 8.0%. The results of nutritional analysis of the children who had three meals a day and those of children skipped one of the regular meals were compared. The group who had three meals consumed more nutrients except vitamin C than the group skipped meal (p〈0.01). Most common meal pattern was consisted of cooked rice, Kimchi and side dishes. When the children didn't have afternoon classes, 10.0% of the children ate Ramen only at home without any side dishes. Among the protein sources, the beans and bean products were the most common items. When we studied the three different lunches such as A) the boxed lunches provided by school, B) the boxed lunches from home and C) the lunches ate at home, the A) lunches provided the most common items. When we studied the three different lunches such as A) the boxed lunches provided by school, B) the boxed lunches from home and C) the lunches ate at home, the A) lunches provided the milk products, fruits, ice cakes·setc. Their favorite foods were fruits, yoghurt, Chinese black noodle, and sweet potatoes whereas being not prefered foods, were aromatic vegetables. It seemed that the increasing rate of working mothers and the overflooding of instant foods have caused to neglect children's meal management. To solve these problems, nutrition education and extend of school lunch programs should be emphasized.

이 연구에서는 Fairclough의 비판적 담론분석 모델을 적용하여 서울시 무상급식 정책결정과정에 나타난 정책담론들이 수행하는 역할 및 특성을 규명하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위해 담론 투쟁과정에서 부각된 담론들에 대한 신문기사의 텍스트 분석을 통해 진보와 보수의 논리를 기술하고, 양자 간 대립하며 전개하고 있는 담론을 해석하였다. 또한, 사회적 실천관계에서는 정책이 형성되는 상황적 맥락과 결정이 이루어지는 제도적 맥락을 살펴보았다. 연구결과에 따른 이 연구의 결론 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 서울시 무상급식 정책결정과정에서 정책담론들은 진보와 보수 세력들의 정치적 이해관계와 결합하며 논쟁이 된 것으로 볼 수 있다. 둘째, 무상급식 정책결정과정에서의 정책행위자들, 즉 진보와 보수는 자신들의 논리를 정당화하기 위한 다양한 행동전략을 구사했으며 이 과정에서 정책담론이 중심적인 역할을 하였다. 셋째, 서울시 무상급식에 관한 정책결정은 정책행위자들의 이해와 타협에 의한 결정이라기보다는 담론투쟁에 의한 결과라 할 수 있다.
