Abstract(s)
A cultura é considerada um determinante na escolha alimentar. Neste contexto, a religião, enquanto determinante cultural, influencia a aceitação e a escolha dos alimentos. A presente investigação visa avaliar de que modo a religião influência a alimentação, nomeadamente junto de comunidades católicas e adventistas do sétimo dia, em Cabo Verde. Para o efeito, utilizou-se uma metodologia qualitativa, recorrendo-se a entrevistas semiestruturadas. Através da análise dos relatos discursivos aos 30 participantes, mediante a categorização dos mesmos, identificaram-se duas grandes categorias de análise: i) Relação do participante com a religião e ii) Influência da religião na alimentação. Verificou-se que os participantes adventistas do sétimo dia estão mais envolvidos com a religião, do que os participantes católicos. Por outro lado, verificou-se que para os adventistas do sétimo dia, a religião influência diariamente as escolhas alimentares, quer na compra quer no consumo alimentares, enquanto que essa influência faz-se notar nos católicos principalmente em momentos pontuais: Quarta-feira de Cinzas e nas Sextas-feiras que precedem a Páscoa. Finalmente, os adventistas do sétimo dia destacam que a prática da sua religião trás benefícios para a sua saúde e bem-estar, contrapondo com os católicos que não identificaram benefícios diretos para a saúde pelo facto de praticarem esta religião.
Culture is one determinant of the food choice. In this context, religion, as a cultural determinant, shapes the acceptance and choice of food. This research aims to assess how religion influences food practices, particularly among Catholic and Seventh-day Adventist communities in Cape Verde. For this, a qualitative study using faceto-face interviews was conducted with 30 participants: 15 Catholics and 15 Seventh-day Adventists. Following the categorization of the participants’ extracts, it was possible to identify two main categories: i) the relationship of the participant with his religion, and ii) the influence of religion on eating choices. It was found that the Seventh-day Adventists participants were more committed with their religion than Catholics. On the other hand, it was found that the religion influences the Adventists daily eating choices in terms of purchasing and consumption. For the Catholics this influence occurs particularly on special dates such as the Ash Wednesday and the Fridays before Easter. The Adventists reported that the practice of their religion brings some benefits for their health and wellbeing. On the contrary, Catholics did not identify direct benefits in practicing their religion in terms of health, although they noted that their religion contributes to their well-being.
