Alimentação e saúde:as novas relações espaço-tempo e suas implicações nos hábitos de consumo de alimentos

Abstract

This paper aims at discussing the behavior of the feeding trade, thinking over the new space-time relations. It develops an analysis of the productive society, where the feeding consumption changes radically, because the scarce and highly quantitative time generates new habits. It analyzes the new forms of feeding consumption in the daily life, brought about by the women's massive entrance in the labor market and of their new needs. Fast-food is rated as being a supporting instrument to the development of this society, where the trade finds conditions for the development through the creation of different strategies for reproduction. Food and health suffer major impacts with these changes in daily life of the population.
