| Sumario: | ObjectiveThis qualitative study tried to interpret the meanings of the term “regional food habits” and the notions of respect for these habits by the National School Food Program. MethodsData were collected by semi-structured interviews with members of this program in a municipality in the caatinga region of Bahia. ResultsThe results and discussion cover the notions associated with these habits and the reasons that explain the importance of respecting them. These notions were expressed in a polysemic way, raising themes such as food traditions, healthy food habits, technical and emic rationality, school food acceptability and food and nutritional security. ConclusionThere is a gap in the literature regarding concepts on the topic and a correlation of forces that try to develop new, health-oriented food habits. The preservation of what is conventionally called ‘regional food habits’ is implicit in the scope of the program. |
