Improper dietary habits in young people can result in diseases caused by unhealthy lifestyles, and increase the risk of obesity. Therefore, experts that bridge the gap between schools and parents are important. Local governments have been slow about assigning nutrition teachers.

Isn't it the parents job to make sure that their kids eat properly? Why does there need to be an 'expert' between the schools and parents, can parents not talk to schools? Can schools not talk to parents? Is everyone mute?

Young people?? Perhaps they need to take a look at the average diet of a 50 year old salaryman to see where the kids are learning it from. White rice, ramen, friend chicken and beer!
Canukle, because parents in Japan usually expect the schools to raise their kids and do everything.
