Abstract:

Based on the social anthropology of food and considering the guiding concepts of the Public Policy for Food and Nutrition Security developed in Brazil, this study aims to analyze statements from teenagers in elementary school regarding the school meals offered under the National School Feeding Program (PNAE). The data were produced through an ethnographic exercise carried out in a county in a semiarid region of Bahia where the school feeding program is currently implemented, as well as through focus groups and compositions written by the students. School recess was particularly relevant for the present study, bringing out the relationship between the body and eating. Many different meanings were associated, in the set of narratives produced by the students, with the foods served by the program. This study assists in clarifying aspects related to the commensality throughout the home-street-school scenarios and also to the right to school feeding, as well as deepening the understanding of food habits among students served by PNAE.
