Abstract

Eating habits concern culture and should be taken into account to assess the changes occurred in the process of industrialization. This study aimed to show the changes in eating habits of the caboclo from a region in the West of Santa Catarina state, Brazil, identifying the differences and similarities in the process and their cultural connection. It is an exploratory descriptive research with qualitative approach. Individual interviews, guided by an initial question about past and current eating habits were conducted. The analysis was performed by the method of descriptive analysis. It was observed that the caboclos do not consume all dishes consumed in childhood, but, when possible, they prepare meals that resemble them, emphasizing that the food produced and consumed at that time were of higher nutritional value and less likely to develop diseases. Thus, it can be concluded that the caboclos remain connected to their food roots.
