- Abstract
The relationship between mankind and food surpasses the physiological aspects of feeding and is marked by commensality. The aim of this study is to understand the senses and meanings of eating by university students at a higher education institution, based on the notion of eating as a sociocultural act and object of socio-anthropological knowledge. The study is descriptive and has a qualitative approach. A survey was conducted between August and December 2014, with students from a private university in the city of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. Data was collected through recorded interviews which were transcribed and analyzed according to the content analysis technique. Ten students from several programs - both males and females - were interviewed. It could be seen that the students' eating behavior is socially and culturallt influenced. One could also observe an effect of globalization and time on the eating habits of respondents. Further research on this topic is suggested, as it is a very broad field that allows another perspective to feeding which is not always exploited by nutrition.
