REBOLLO, Ana Gabriela Cabrera; VILLARREAL, Lilia Zizumbo; LARA, Oliver Gabriel Hernández  y  ALVAREZ, Emilio Gerardo Arriaga. Rethinking Diet to Rethink Life. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2018, n.115, pp.75-90. ISSN 2182-7435.  https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.6983.

The notion of diet has been transformed throughout history thus changing the way we interact with our environment, with what we eat and with life itself. The knowledge generated has enabled the establishment of regulations, guides and recommendations that try to induce the population towards a proper diet to improve nutrition and health; however, the current trends show contradictory circumstances to health that are also affecting the environment. Therefore, this paper aims to examine diet in its broader sense to motivate analysis of current life circumstances. To do so, we will first discuss the changes that have occurred in the field of diet, later moving on to address the fragmentation occurring and the harm generated, to finally reflect that diet refers to life.

Palabras clave : diet; dietetics; environment; health and welfare; human life; nutrition.
