Abstract(s)
A alimentação é um fator imprescindível para a manutenção da vida e faz parte da
rotina diária das pessoas. A nível individual, a escolha alimentar é influência por diversos
fatores, destacando-se o sensorial, o preço, a conveniência, a saúde/bem-estar, bem como a
sustentabilidade ambiental ou a religião este último inserido na cultura de um povo.
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, foi possível identificar três grandes categorias: i) relação do
participante com a sua religião; ii) influência da religião na alimentação; e iii) avaliação das
práticas alimentares propostas pela religião para a saúde/bem-estar. 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, ao nível da compra e do consumo,
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, embora tenham referido que a mesma
contribui para o seu bem-estar.
Food is an indispensable element for the good maintenance of life and it makes part of people´s daily routine. People’s choice in food is influenced by many factors such as taste, price, convenience, health, environmental sustainability and religion beliefs that are inserted in people´s culture. This work is intended to evaluate how religion influences people´s way of eating, particularly in the catholic communities and the Seventh-day Adventists in Cape Verde. Fir this, a qualitative methodology was applied, using semi-structured interviews Through the analysis of the reports from the interviews made to 30 participants, it was possible to identify three main categories: i) the relation of the participant with the religion; ii) the influence of religion on eating; iii) and the evaluation of the eating practices proposed by religion for health/wellbeing. It was found that the Seventh-day Adventists are more committed to 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. This difference occurs to the Catholics only on special dates such as 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.
