In respect to their recognition of the necessity of school meals, 72.5% of the whole subjects responded they were necessary, 22.5% responded they were average and 5.0% responded they were not necessary. For the satisfaction in school food, 48.% were average, 26.1% were not satisfied, and 25.9% were satisfied. For the sum of their satisfaction in taste and nutrition, satisfactory group was 28.98±6.22, average group was 24.49±3.64, and unsatisfactory group was 19.15±6.82, and all the items in each group had significant differences (p<0.001). In respect to the sum of their satisfaction in cafeteria environment, satisfactory group was 14.23±3.45, average group was 1.80±2.24, and unsatisfactory group was 9.72±3.98, and all the items in each group had significant differences (p<0.001). As a result of investigating frequency of overlapping menu tolerance, for more than six times a month, satisfactory group was 44.4%, average group was 41.2%, and unsatisfactory group was 67.6%, and all the items in each group had significant differences. The satisfaction in school meals had significantly positive relations with the following: when the subject were girls, when they recognized they were necessary, when they preferred school meals to home meals, when order was followed in cafeteria, when enough meal time was given, when frequency of leavings was less, when prefer food was not repetitively served, when their satisfaction in taste, nutrition, hygiene, and environment was higher. To examine the relations with subjective health conditions, as they recognized they were healthy, they recognized school meals were necessary, order was well followed in cafeteria, and enough meal time was given. Higher satisfaction in taste and nutrition, hygiene, and cafeteria environment had positive correlations with subjective health conditions. Recognition of the necessity of school meals was higher when they recognized school meals were better than home meals, and order was well followed in cafeteria, enough eating time was given and they had no leavings. For the relations between home meals and school meals, as they preferred school meals than home meals, their satisfaction in order in cafeteria was higher, they thought they had enough meal time, and had no leavings. As satisfaction in taste, nutrition, hygiene, and environment was higher, their recognition of home meals and school meals was significantly higher. Based on the results above, it was demonstrated that in respect to highest satisfaction in school meals all the subjects answered they had good eating habits through school meals.
