Description
Summary:The present study approaches the existence of other nutritional rationalities which are distinct from the biomedical one and are often included in the so-called traditional and/or complementary medicine. The hypothesis is that these other eating rationalities are relevant in themselves, deserve to be studied and may contribute to promote Food Security, health education and the enrichment of professional practices in Brazil's Sistema Unico de Saude (SUS--National Health System). The goal is to contextualize the interaction of these ideas and practices, and present the initial development of such hypothesis. The biomedical model, which is dominant in the area of nutrition, is revisited, and the need to broaden this perspective is defended. The "medical rationality" category is combined with the notions of food chains and models, in order to perform an initial mapping of the rationalities and food chains under focus. Keywords: Nutrition. Complementary therapies. Primary care. Food security. Toma-se por objeto a existencia pouco estudada de outras racionalidades nutricionais distintas da biomedica, comumente inseridas nas chamadas praticas e medicinas tradicionais e/ou complementares. A hipotese e a de que essas outras logicas alimentares sao relevantes em si, merecem estudo, e sua tematizacao pode contribuir para a promocao da seguranca alimentar e nutricional, a educacao em saude e o enriquecimento das praticas dos profissionais no Sistema Unico de Saude (SUS). O objetivo e contextualizar a aproximacao dessas ideias e praticas e apresentar um primeiro desenvolvimento de tal hipotese. Revisita-se o modelo biomedico, dominante na nutricao, defendendo a necessidade de se ampliar essa perspectiva. Combinam-se a categoria "racionalidade medica" e as nocoes de modelos e correntes alimentares para um mapeamento preliminar das racionalidades e correntes alimentares em foco.
