“…The replacement of traditional diets for ultra-processed products has been seen as related to a food system characterized by a lightly regulated global food industry (7) . In Brazil, the new classification of food is the basis for the widely recognized food-based dietary guidelines issued in 2014 (19) . Up until now, dietary patterns based on this classification have been examined in only four countries (2,4,6,11) .…”

Objective: To identify the use of ultra-processed foods -vectors of salt, sugar and fats -in the Norwegian diet through an assessment of food sales. Design: Sales data from a representative sample of food retailers in Norway, collected in September 2005 (n 150) and September 2013 (n 170), were analysed. Data consisted of barcode scans of individual food item purchases, reporting type of food, price, geographical region and retail concept. Foods were categorized as minimally processed, culinary ingredients, processed products and ultra-processed. Indicators were share of purchases and share of expenditure on food categories. Setting: Six geographical regions in Norway. Subjects: The barcode data included 296 121 observations in 2005 and 501 938 observations in 2013. Results: Ultra-processed products represented 58·8 % of purchases and 48·8 % of expenditure in 2013. Minimally processed foods accounted for 17·2 % of purchases and 33·0 % of expenditure. Every third purchase was a sweet ultra-processed product. Food sales changed marginally in favour of minimally processed foods and in disfavour of processed products between 2005 and 2013 (χ 2 (3) = 203 195, P < 0·001, Cramer's V = 0·017, P < 0·001). Conclusions: Ultra-processed products accounted for the majority of food sales in Norway, indicating a high consumption of such products. This could be contributing to rising rates of overweight, obesity and non-communicable diseases in the country, as findings from other countries indicate. Policy measures should aim at decreasing consumption of ultra-processed products and facilitating access (including economic) to minimally processed foods.

“…[40][41][42] Thus, school gardens are incorporated in a context of redefining Food and Nutrition Security and Healthy and Adequate Food, an area where Brazil has gained international recognition. 43,44 The development of gardens is consistent with the new Food Guide for the Brazilian Population, which includes the appreciation of social and cultural dimensions of dieting and food as found in nature as one of its principles, in addition to providing elements for educational practices to redefine the contemporary meaning of food, encouraging the production of foods in gardens and small spaces and appreciating cooking as a practice that resists the consumer society model.…”

Introduction: Schools have been recognized as a favorable setting for food and nutrition education and school-based garden interventions have shown positive results. Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the dietary-related impact of children´s experience with growing foods in school gardens, according to the perception of parents and educators. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with principals, teachers and employees, and semistructured in-home interviews with parents of school children from three municipal schools in Greater São Paulo. A total of 27 individuals were interviewed, comprising 19 parents and eight educators. Results and discussion: The school garden promoted reflection on the act of eating and on foods through the knowledge gained from direct contact with growing food crops. The experience had an impact on both the children and the families involved with the activities. Contact with food production provided knowledge about food and strengthened connections with the food grown by sensitization to the act of eating. In practice, this resulted in concrete dietary-related changes, greater knowledge of foods and the food system, in addition to greater appreciation of the food produced as well as motivation to try new foods. Conclusion: School gardens are conceived as a food and nutrition education strategy based on involvement and direct contact with food. Keywords ResumoIntrodução: As escolas têm sido reconhecidas como um ambiente favorável para a educação alimentar e nutricional, e intervenções baseadas em hortas escolares têm mostrado resultados positivos. Objetivo: Descrever o impacto na alimentação associado à experiência de crianças na produção de alimentos em hortas escolares, de acordo com a percepção de pais e educadores. Métodos: Foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com diretores, professores e funcionários, e entrevistas domiciliares semiestruturadas com pais de alunos de três escolas de uma cidade da Grande São Paulo. Um total de 27 indivíduos foram entrevistados, sendo 19 pais e 8 educadores. Resultados e discussão: A horta escolar proporcionou a reflexão sobre o ato de comer e sobre os alimentos, através do conhecimento adquirido com o contato direto com o cultivo desses alimentos. A experiência teve um impacto sobre as crianças e famílias envolvidas com tais atividades. O contato promoveu compreensão sobre a comida e fortaleceu esta conexão, bem como maior sensibilização para o ato de comer. Na prática, isso resultou em mudanças concretas na alimentação, maior conhecimento sobre os alimentos e o sistema alimentar, além de maior valorização dos alimentos produzidos e estímulo para experimentar novos. Conclusão: A horta escolar é, assim, uma estratégia de educação alimentar e nutricional com base no envolvimento e relação direta com alimentos.Palavras-chave: Jardinagem.

“…However, guidelines such as these, that highlight food groups and nutritional values, have been superseded by food guides based on the importance of the context in which the food will be consumed 45 . The 2016 Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population present advances in strategies for health promotion and changes in eating habits.…”

We aim to investigate the influence of different sociocultural origins in both Cuban physicians participating in More Doctors Project for Brazil and Brazilian patients' diet and nutrition approach in primary health care services. The case study was made using triangulation method, ethnography, focus groups and interviews. It was applied Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical approach, in particular, the habitus (i.e. social and cultural origin) concept. The results showed that the diet and nutrition guidelines are highly influenced by the biomedical paradigm, attenuating possible influences of the habitus.
