EDUCAÇÃO ALIMENTAR E NUTRICIONAL, CULTURA E SUBJETIVIDADES: A ESCOLA CONTRIBUINDO PARA A FORMAÇÃO DE SUJEITOS CRÍTICOS E CRIATIVOS EM TORNO DA CULTURA ALIMENTAR

Abstract

From a series of group interventions we built, with a group of students from public schools, reflections on education and nutrition and food culture in contemporary society. Using as theoretical basis for reflections the historical-cultural theory and history of food, we debated with students which historical, social, political, ideological and economic factors influence food culture and how to interfere in the formation of the subjectivity of the subject. We conclude that the debate on traditional eating habits has the merit of rescuing the culture and history of food, and how it is extremely relevant in the formation of cultural and social identity of a people. Actions in food and nutrition education can enhance the criticality of students regarding eating habits, which most often are imposed by media strategies of the food industry, and lead them to review the relationship they establish with food nowadays.
