“…Another important issue was the reduction in eating school meals in this community, also demonstrated in a previous study, which found a decrease in this habit from 73.3% in 2004 to 48.7% in 2012. 24 Less consumption of school meals was found among children who underestimated their BMI. Eating school meals is traditionally associated with extreme poverty, 10 and an increase in purchasing power may explain its reduction.…”

No entanto, comer refeições escolares é tradicionalmente associado à extrema pobreza, 10 e um aumento no poder de compra pode explicar sua redução.…”

“…De forma oposta, Lima et al26 explanaram que as beneficiárias, mesmo em situação de dificuldades e restrições financeiras, mantinham critérios alimentares que não poderiam ser resumidos aos preços baixos, restritos à preocupação de fazer "economia" e à redução de custos.
