“…A Brazilian study conducted in the FD, which used the "problematization" methodology with 25 adolescents, indicated the following main barriers for healthy eating: temptation, food taste, parental influence, lack of time, and few choices for healthful snacks at school 35 .…”

Objective: To characterize the school cafeterias in the Federal District of Brazil with respect to the promotion of healthy eating in schools. Methods: This is a descriptive, analytical, cross-sectional study, with a representative sample of schools with cafeterias in the Federal District, Brazil (n=202). The data were collected from April to November 2010 by means of on-site interviews and a structured questionnaire. The Pearson's chi-squared and Student's t tests were used. Results: A higher prevalence of outsourcing, and few employees and dieticians were observed. The prevailing foods were baked sausage, cheese, or chicken rolls or pastries. It was also found that 42.2% of the schools influence the menu of the cafeterias, and 58.6% of the representatives believe in the possibility of influencing the students' eating habits. However, 68.0% of the respondents do not believe in the economic feasibility of completely healthful school cafeterias. Approximately 30.0% of the respondents carry out activities to promote healthy eating. Conclusion: Most of the school cafeterias in the Federal District do not encourage healthful eating. The high prevalence of outsourced services with little interference from the school community gives high autonomy to the cafeteria's owner, whose priority is the pursuit of profit at the expense of the students' nutritional education. Improving the nutritional quality of school foods should be a continuous interactive effort of the food suppliers, principals, students, parents, and government authorities.

“…Studies are consistent on the grounds that food consciousness is related to environmental and family factors, besides state of motivation itself, and not to organic factors. 8,[10][11]17 Among these external factors, the association with living with parents and/or siblings was not expected either, since it is suggested that formal education and parental income, cohabitation time and family routine (not assessed in this analysis) are the major infl uential factors, rather than just the cohabitation characteristics. 14 The data reported in this analysis is useful for possible inferences about the population's eating habits, as poor awareness of food and nutrition refl ects on the consolidation of attitudes and food choices, even under interference from environmental factors hitherto mentioned.…”

“…Alves et al (2009) 26 and Assis et al (2014) 23 have observed about 50% pre-intervention accuracy in similar studies with adolescents from MG. Toral (2010) 17 , in a qualitative analysis with 25 adolescents aged 15+ in Brasília (DF), has reported accounts of appropriate general notions of healthy eating, including FV intake (without defi ning recommendations, however). Nevertheless, there were no specifi c national data regarding FV awareness for comparison with the results herein.…”

“…14 The data reported in this analysis is useful for possible inferences about the population's eating habits, as poor awareness of food and nutrition refl ects on the consolidation of attitudes and food choices, even under interference from environmental factors hitherto mentioned. [16][17]25,27 As a diagnostic instrument, they support the planning of focused action plans, given ample evidence of the positive impact of educational interventions on FV intake. 25,[31][32] For this population, it is also important to combine the baseline awareness data to further investigation into motivational state (pre-contemplation, contemplation, decision, action) and environmental characteristics 17 of adolescents, so that the right strategies are established, including working with both parents and the community in which they live.…”

“…2,8,10,11,14 At this age, one is capable of better absorbing the contents of interventions and managing food choices compared with children, and, in order to take effective action, it is important to assess the level of nutritional awareness. 1,[16][17] The objective of this study, therefore, is to describe and compare data on nutritional awareness regarding FV among adolescents aged 10-12 from fi ve Brazilian regions, according to demographic characteristics, physical activity levels, screen time and Body Mass Index (BMI).…”

What do active male brazilian adolescents know about fruits and vegetables? J Hum Growth Dev. 2016; 26(3): 316-322 J Hum Growth Dev. Abstract:Objective: To describe and compare data on nutritional awareness regarding FV among adolescents from fi ve Brazilian regions, according to demographics, physical activity levels, screen time and BMI.Methods: Cross-sectional study with 1.190 males aged 10-12 in fi ve Brazilian regions, enrolled in a football tournament, with parental consent. BMI, weekly physical activity and daily screen time in minutes, awareness of FV recommendations in daily servings and recognition of food groups, home region, and residents of the household were obtained through self-administered questionnaire, adapted from a previously validated tool. ANOVA, Spearman correlation and chi-squared tests were performed, with a signifi cance level of 5%.Results: Analysis showed 29% of overweight and obesity, less than 2 hours of daily screen time (70%) and insuffi cient levels of weekly physical activity (mean 226 minutes). Most (95%) lived with parents and with siblings (73%). About 29% of the sample were aware of FV recommendations and 60% recognized food groups. Awareness was not associated with BMI (p = 0.95), home region (p = 0,88), physical activity (p = 0.21), screen time (p = 0.46) or housing characteristics (p = 0.33). Conclusions:Data found on awareness of food groups are consistent with national and international studies, suggesting patterns of poor awareness worldwide. To our knowledge, there are no other Brazilian reports of level of awareness on recommendations of FV in this age group. The importance of behavioral interventions is acknowledged for stimulating healthy habits, which renders the results useful for the development of educational activities for this age group in Brazil.
