The aims of the present study were to verify the proportion of population that consumed more red and processed meat than the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) dietary recommendation, to estimate the environmental impact of beef intake and the possible reduction of greenhouse gas emissions if the dietary recommendation was followed. We used the largest, cross-sectional, population-based survey entitled the National Dietary Survey (34 003 participants aged 10-104 years). The usual meat intake was obtained by two food records completed on 2 non-consecutive days. The usual intake was estimated by the multiple source method. The environmental impact was analysed according to estimates of CO2 equivalent emissions from beef intake as a proxy for beef production in Brazil. The red and processed meat intake mean was 88 g/d. More than 80 % of the population consumed more red and processed meat than the WCRF recommendation. Beef was the type of meat most consumed, accounting to almost 50 %. Each person contributed 1005 kg of CO2 equivalents from beef intake in 2008, the same quantity of CO2 produced if a car travelled a distance between the extreme north and south of Brazil (5370 km). The entire Brazilian population contributed more than 191 million tons of CO2 equivalents, which could have been reduced to more than 131 million tons if the dietary recommendation was followed. The present study shows that the magnitude of the excessive red and processed meat intake in Brazil can impact on health and the environment, pointing to the urgency of promoting a sustainable diet.

“…O grau de escolaridade dos indivíduos foi em sua maioria com Ensino Médio completo (30%) e Superior incompleto (24,25%). De acordo com alguns estudos (NEUTZLING et al, 2009;HOOPER et al, 2006;ASSUNÇÃO et al, 2012), estas características constatadas demonstram potencialmente serem influenciados quanto ao hábito de consumir frutas pelo acesso a informações nos mais diversos segmentos de orientação e, ainda, por valores socioculturais, fatores psicológicos, condição financeira familiar, hábitos alimentares, disponibilidade de alimentos, imagem corporal e influência exercida pela mídia.…”

“…Algumas regiões do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, como na Metade Sul do RS, especificamente na região de fronteira, têm tradicionalmente como base de sua alimentação a ingestão alta de gorduras saturadas advindas do consumo frequente de gordura em carnes vermelhas, compartilhada pelo hábito de não consumir alimentos crus, como frutas e verduras (ASSUNÇÃO et al, 2012). Em estudo realizado com a população Uruguaia, constatou-se o baixo consumo de frutas nos indivíduos com idade inferior a 30 anos, mas a maioria consome frutas de 3 a 4 vezes por semana (HALL, 2009).…”

fruit consumer haBits in the rio Grande do sul Border with arGentina and uruGuaYaBstract -This study aimed to identify the consumer profile, to characterize the frequency and the main fruit consumption habits, as well as to analyze the factors that affect the consumption of the resident population of the West regions of the state of Rio Grande do Sul in the border with Argentina and Uruguay. An exploratory survey was conducted in 2012, using a transversal and population-based approach, constituting in questionnaire application to people living in the border cities of Uruguaiana, Itaqui, São Borja and Santana do Livramento. The survey was composed of 400 consumers living in the four cities studied. The results indicate that only one third of the interviewees consume fruit daily being consumption more frequent among women. Fruits for human consumption are mainly bought in supermarkets. Among the reasons influencing fruit consumption stands out the distinction of fruit as a healthy food, and appearance is the most adopted criterion to choose the fruit. The main fruits consumed by interviewees in the region are bananas, apples, oranges, papayas and mangos, respectively. Price reduction, habit creation and improved fruit quality are important factors for the increasing consumption of fruits in this region. index terms: consumer profile, Fruitculture, quality, food.

In this study we assess how higher education students (pre-service teachers) value and understand the impact of livestock production on global warming. We used a questionnaire with 91 students from a Portuguese institution and 111 from a Spanish one. The students had to mention measures to fight global warming, to explain the relationship between livestock production and global warming and to rank the impact of this cause compared to others. The Portuguese students showed a better understanding of this issue. Even so, the majority of the students do not recognize the high impact of livestock on global warming and consider other causes more relevant.
