“…In this study, the reported consumption decreased significantly in both genders and in most age groups, with the remarkable exception of the youngest (0-4 years). Possible explanations for such downward trend include the reduction in time dedicated for meal preparation, or even the replacement of the traditional meal (made of three servings: soup, main course and dessert) by smaller and lighter meals (Haut Comité de la Santé Publique, 2000;Poulain, 2002;Mestdag, 2005).…”

Objective: To assess trends of food intake in Portugal. Design: Analysis of three cross-sectional studies : 1987, 1995-1996 and 1998-1999. Setting: Representative samples of free-living individuals. Subjects: 64 734 men and 71 282 women. Interventions: Food intake was assessed by questionnaires inquiring the number of meals and which foodstuffs (fish, meat, milk, rice/pasta/potatoes, soup, vegetables and fruit) had been consumed the day before. Results: Age-adjusted average number of meals decreased from 3.370.1 in 1987 to 2.970.1 in 1998-1999 in both genders (Po0.001). In men, the percentage of subjects consuming meat, milk and potatoes/rice/pasta increased from 73, 66 and 91% in 1987 to 83, 74 and 95% in 1998-1999, respectively. The percentage of subjects consuming soup and fish decreased from 70 and 56% in 1987 to 62 and 53% in 1998-1999, respectively. In women, the percentage of subjects consuming meat, milk, potatoes/rice/pasta and vegetable increased from 70, 66, 89 and 71% in 1987 to 78, 77, 93 and 83% in 1998-1999, respectively. The percentage of subjects consuming soup and fish decreased from 70 and 55% in 1987 to 64 and 53% in 1998-1999, respectively. These trends were more pronounced in the younger age, which also displayed a higher frequency of snacking. Multivariate analysis adjusting for age group, region and educational level showed that the consumption of meat, milk and vegetables increased and the consumption of soup, fish and fruit decreased in 1998-1999 relative to 1995-1996. Conclusions: Within a decade, the Portuguese dietary pattern has changed considerably, shifting from a traditional, south European to a more Westernized, protein-rich diet.

“…Poulain 37 , ao analisar as características dos hábitos alimentares contemporâneos na França, descreve que o café da manhã mais tradicional consiste basicamente no consumo de uma bebida quente e um pão com manteiga ou croissant, sugerindo, assim, uma refeição mais simplificada. Michaud et al 38 e Lambert et al 21 corroboram essa descrição ao sugerir que, além do café da manhã, o almoço e o jantar francês também sofreram modificações no decorrer dos anos, apresentando-se hoje como refeições mais simplificadas.…”

Café da manhã: caracterização, consumo e importância para a saúde

O café da manhã é uma das três principais refeições do dia, mas, apesar da sua importância para a saúde, a diminuição do seu consumo é uma modificação importante no comportamento alimentar atual. Neste estudo, reflete-se sobre a caracterização dessa refeição e a implicação de seu consumo para a saúde; discutem-se, também, sua importância e as recomendações de consumo. Após revisão de artigos e respectivas contribuições científicas em bases de dados da área, pode-se afirmar que o café da manhã, objeto desta comunicação, é ainda bastante carente de pesquisas na literatura científica. Contudo, evidências científicas associam o consumo habitual de café da manhã a baixo risco de sobrepeso e obesidade, bem como melhoria na capacidade de aprendizagem. Estudos identificam que o perfil dos consumidores frequentes dessa refeição é de não fumantes que praticam atividade física, que controlam o peso e que não fazem uso frequente de álcool. Os autores pesquisados sugerem, assim, uma relação positiva entre o consumo de café da manhã e um estilo de vida saudável, justificando a recomendação de programas de incentivo ao seu consumo.

“…Le développement du « prêt à consommer », l'évolution des modes de vie ainsi que la multiplication des discours hygiénistes, diététiques, esthéti-ques, hédonistes -en partie relayés par la sphère marketing -ont engendré un certain nombre de dérégulations qui se traduisent par une certaine « déstructuration, désocialisa-tion, déritualisation de l'alimentation moderne » (Herpin, 1988). Poulain (2002b) a montré qu'on observe, dans la pratique, une simplification des repas et de leur nombre, notamment chez les jeunes, les urbains et les plus diplômés, tout en maintenant une très forte socialisation des repas principaux. Ceci ne remet pas en cause la portée normative des représentations alimentaires mais souligne, au contraire, l'importance que continuent d'accorder ces individus aux dimensions sociales de l'acte alimentaire, au manger ensemble ainsi qu'au plaisir partagé.…”

Face au refus croissant des innovations technologiques alimentaires par les consommateurs, cet article examine le rôle des normes sociales et culturelles dans la formation des représentations associées aux aliments génétiquement modifiés (OGM) et à leurs risques à travers le cas des français. Pour ces derniers, le génie génétique porte atteinte à la sociabilité, au goût et à l’authenticité des aliments. Les perceptions du risque s’avérant largement prédéterminées par la culture alimentaire, cet article propose, au plan managérial, des pistes pour intégrer ces dimensions en amont des processus d’innovation et améliorer plus généralement l’acceptation des nouvelles technologies alimentaires.It is fruitful to explore the increasing rejection of technological innovations in food by consumers in countries like France in light of concepts of risk perception and food culture. This article deals with the influence of social and cultural norms in the formation of representations associated with genetically modified food (GMO) and related risks. French consumers believe that this technology affects the sociability, taste and the authenticity of food. The article concludes with some recommendations for practitioners seeking to integrate consumer concerns early in the innovation process and to improve the acceptance of new food technologies.Frente al creciente rechazo de las innovaciones tecnológicas alimenticias por los consumidores, este artículo examina el papel de las normas sociales y culturales en la formación de las representaciones asociadas con los alimentos transgénicos y sus riesgos a través del caso de los Franceses. Para ellos, esta tecnología afecta a la sociabilidad, al gusto y a la autenticidad de los alimentos. Dado que la percepción del riesgo se revela ampliamente determinada por la cultura alimenticia, este artículo recomienda la integración de estas dimensiones màs arriba del proceso de innovacíon para mejorar màs en general la aceptacíon de las nuevas tecnologías alimentarias
