Eating, swimming, walking, and playing deal with the search for evidence that broaden relations involving the eating body. This study was carried out by the picnic practice in Santa Catarina Island, between 1906 to 1918. The study site is the Santa Catarina School, a Jesuit primary school for the Santa Catarina elites. A large document collection was used. From primary school: the priests’ journals, school official reports, and photos from its collection, as well as news in newspapers of that time and a historiography on the subject involving leisure in the city. This is a historiographical work supported by authors of Anthropology, History and Philosophy, whose aim was to promote a dialogue with the field of Food and Nutrition in an interdisciplinary manner. In this sense, we understand possibilities to expand the construction of knowledge of this field from theoretical and methodological contributions of Humanities. As a result of the study, we have discussed that dietary practices can either promote the construction of new sensitivities, such as the birth of the picnic practice in Florianópolis in the early twentieth century, and potentially favor the playful experience in the forms of the eating body’s plays in the ritual that involves physical efforts. We can also infer that there is a playfulness that involves body and food, a creative, sensory and aesthetic process. In short, eating would participate, in addition to nutrient contents, in the relations of knowledge, power and ethics in the ways of managing oneself and others.
