Abstract:

This paper deals with the proposals of selfcare by means of selfcontrol in nutritional health promotion, especially in the purpose of avoiding weight gains and food consumption that do not follow the blueprint of ‘healthy food’. These initiatives present themselves as selfcare strategies, that are legitimatized and naturalized in the context of nutritional heath, linked with moralistic modes on the present ways of leading our lives. The study’s critical standpoint adopts a biopolitical approach and ‘cynical parrhesia’ as an argumentative mode of reasoning brought by the Cynicism as a philosophical doctrine, further developed by Michel Foucault in its studies about the care of the self.
