Comer e cuidar

desafios do cuidado e, alimentação e nutrição no âmbito da atenção primária à saúde

Abstract

This article aimed to discuss challenges to the production of food and nutrition care faced in Primary Health Care. To this end, it used a scene as a discursive strategy, whose consequences were used to shed light on other acts of care, which constitute it as a process. Thus, it exposes the relational character of food and nutrition care, exploring the effects of its interpenetration by nutritional rationality. It then focuses on female preponderance in care networks, both in the private and institutional spheres, analyzing historical transformations and potentialities. This approach culminates in addressing the limitations and challenges faced by professionals and workers inserted in Primary Health Care. It argues that the understanding of such aspects represents an important movement towards qualifying care practices in food and nutrition care, better guided by the principles that underlie them. change proposals for the development of expanded and shared clinical practice.
