“…A Future for Food 2 was an update of an earlier position paper, A Future for Food (16) , which was released prior to the development of the Plan and had called for the development of 'a national integrated food policy' (p. 3); as Crotty (46) puts it, a way of linking 'pre-swallowing' to 'post-swallowing' sciences.…”

Objective: The present article tracks the development of the Australian National Food Plan as a 'whole of government' food policy that aimed to integrate elements of nutrition and sustainability alongside economic objectives. Design: The article uses policy analysis to explore the processes of consultation and stakeholder involvement in the development of the National Food Plan, focusing on actors from the sectors of industry, civil society and government. Existing documentation and submissions to the Plan were used as data sources. Models of health policy analysis and policy streams were employed to analyse policy development processes. Setting: Australia.

“…Patricia Crotty wrote that ‘the act of swallowing divides nutrition's “two cultures”, the post swallowing world of biology, physiology, biochemistry and pathology, and the pre‐swallowing domain of behaviour, culture, society and experience’ (1993: 109). She offers this to help explain her observation that nutrition gives limited attention to the pre‐swallowing, or the social nature of food and eating.…”

Globally, public health agencies recognise obesity trends among populations as a priority. Explanations for population obesity patterns are linked to obesogenic environments and societal trends which encourage patterns of overeating and little physical activity. However, obesity prevention and nutrition intervention focus predominantly on changing individual level eating behaviours. Disappointingly, behaviour-based nutrition education approaches to changing population eating patterns have met with limited success. Sociological perspectives propose that underlying social relations can help explain collective food and eating patterns, and suggest an analysis of the sociocultural context for understanding population eating patterns. We propose a theoretical framework for the examination of eating patterns as social phenomena. Giddens' structuration theory, in particular his concept of social practices understood as an interplay of 'agency' and 'social structure' (rules and resources), is used to study food choice patterns. We discuss the application of these concepts for understanding routine food choice practices of families, elaborating how rules and resources configure the enabling or constraining conditions under which actors make food choices. The framework assists in characterising how social structural properties are integral to food choice practices, and could direct attention to these when considering nutrition interventions aimed at changing population eating patterns.

“…Crotty 17 apud Delormier et al 12 defende que a prática alimentar abrange duas acepções: aquela posterior à ingestão do alimento e que está relacionada ao universo da biologia (fisiologia e bioquímica); e aquela anterior à ingestão. Esta última está relacionada às questões culturais e sociais, ou seja, à natureza social do comer.…”

Resumo Este artigo, no formato de ensaio, apresenta uma ref lexão conceitual sobre alimentação e cultura. Neste contexto, insere-se a discussão sobre a comensalidade e sua importância ao longo do processo histórico e social dos povos, apresentando o uso do fogo como importante fator cultural e social que potencializou a agregação, e também como peça central nas mudanças das práticas alimentares. Discutem-se, ainda, as dinâmicas de comensalidade, as práticas alimentares adotadas na contemporaneidade em suas conexões com o tradicional e o moderno. Traz a abordagem, a partir de alguns autores da antropologia e da sociologia da alimentação, a diferença entre alimento e comida-quando se trata de aspectos fisiológicos e automáticos, como atendimento à sobrevivência humana e o sentido dado pelo viés culturalquando comer adquire também importância simbólica. Portanto, é na compreensão cultural e social da comida que este artigo se fundamenta. Trata-se daquele sentido em que, através das regras socialmente estabelecidas, criam-se vínculos com quem come e com as demais dinâmicas que envolvem a comensalidade.
