The results of the analysis include the following. Children were less likely to be picky when their parents talked more about school lunches (p < 0.001), when they valued homemade tastes (p < 0.05), and when they gave snacks less frequently (p < 0.01). The more parents talked with their children about school lunches (p < 0.001), the more they valued opportunities to eat homemade foods (p < 0.01) and local products (p < 0.05), and the less frequent snacks given (p < 0.01), the less likely their children were to leave leftovers. The more parents talked with their children about school lunches (p < 0.001) and the more they valued the taste of homemade meals (p < 0.01), the more likely their children were to give thanks at meal time. The more frequently parents talked about school meals with their children (p < 0.001), the more likely children were to help with meals when their mothers were employed (p < 0.01). Single mother families, families of three or more generations, and annual household income did not significantly affect childrenʼs eating habits.
