This study’s subjects were a total of 488 high school students who are attending first, second and third grade in Bucheon of Gyeonggi-do, and according to the frequency of using fast food, they were classified in frequently (1-2 times in a week), regularly (2-3 times in a month) and occasionally (under once in a month). The majority date of using fast food was totally when meeting friends 32.5%, and the majority day of using fast food was totally Sunday or Holiday 40.5%. In addition, the best frequent time was totally lunch 53.3%. The best reason for choice was taste 48.0%. A decisive effect on the choice was the media 44.9%. Taken as a whole, the most frequently of whom eating with was friend and where having was cafeteria(Chain Store) or home 38.3%. The order for the preferences of fast food according to frequency of using fast food was ice cream, chicken, pizza, fried potato, ramen, hamburger, carbonated drink, donut and hotdog. Generally, the score for all of the fast food’s preference is over 3.30 points, as a result, they preferred above average and the more frequency of using fast food, the higher preference for fast food. The distribution of gender was male 43.9% and female 56.1%, and in case of the frequency of using fast food, female’s frequent users 63.8% was higher than male’s frequent users 36.2%, so the female’s count of using fast food was more (p<0.05). In case of the subject’s mother was housewife, regularly 42.0% and occasionally 33.0% were more than frequently 27.7%, so statically there was correlation between groups (p<0.05). When the propensity of students surveyed was over 50,000 won, frequently 23.9% and regularly 23.0% were more than occasionally 19.4%, as much as student’s propensity, there was more frequency for using fast food (p<0.01). About general eating habit, total mean score was 53.1 points(out of 85 points) and frequent users’ score was 51.38 points, regular users’ score was 53.64 points and occasional users’ score was 54.32 points, so, the less the group uses fast food, eating habit’s score was high. The more the group uses fast food, the more frequency of passing meal (p<0.05). In case of frequent users for using fast food preferred to eat refreshments. The most correct answer of nutritional knowledge according to frequency of using fast food was “It's sometimes drinking alcohol or smoking is fine for releasing stress.” and the correct answer percent of nutritional knowledge was not related the frequency of using fast food, generally inferred they have similar knowledge level. Taken as a whole, The most answer about consideration of nutrition labeling was “Yes” 71.8% and whether nutritional education effects on choosing food was “Normal” 27.0% and “No effect” 16.7%, most of them answered that acknowledge of nutritional education was positive answer of average or above average. But, there were no significant differences between groups according to frequency for using fast food. Frequency of using fast food and eating habit score showed minus correlation, that is to say, the less the frequency of using fast food, the higher score of eating habits(r=-0.122, p<0.05). According to results, when having desirable eating habit, there was less frequency of using fast food. As a result, always through systematic nutritional education, when they choose food, we have to lead to consider health than taste. Furthermore, when they choose fast food, for considering nutrition labeling, there should be nutritional education in school and exact and noticeable expression from fast food company.
