Consuming unhealthy meals could lead to illnesses in the long-term such as obesity and diabetes. Therefore, it is very important to guide children into positive eating habits since the early age to minimize the longterm negative effects. Data collection as references are obtained from the results of interviews, observations, and literature reviews. From the results of interviews with primary school teacher, street food seller, and children nutritionist, it can be concluded that the number of children consuming unhealthy foods and not knowing about the importance of having positive dietary patterns are still high. Street food sellers also admitted about the unhealthy ingredients used in the making process of street foods. From the results of school observations, the number of children who still buys and consume unhealthy foods are still high.
