This thesis presents a study on the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population, understood as an important expression of the social policy of food and nutrition developed in Brazil, and one of the main tools of action of healthy feeding program. The Food Guide was designed to facilitate the implementation of actions to promote proper dietary practices and choosing healthy foods. The general objective of this thesis was to identify the political and ideological patterns that guide the social policies of food and nutrition in Brazil. The qualitative research that formed the basis for the study is founded in Marxism and historical materialism, which recognizes the centrality of the material issues that present themselves in the working class conditions of life. The social policies of food and nutrition and the Food Guide were evaluated historically, once it is in the historical process, the construction of the subject product, which the dialectical way of thinking best expressed. The Food Guide was evaluated as part of a concrete totality, one of the main foundations of historical materialism, and integral part of social policies that are intrinsic to the fights and the rights acquired by workers, in permanent confrontation with the interests of capitalist accumulation. The results indicate the problems of the food and nutritional situation in the country, and the fragmentation and discontinuity of the policies of food and nutrition, implemented throughout the historical period analyzed. The Food Guide's analysis showed that its content reveals an idealized reality, that translates to dietary recommendations indicated indistinctly to the entire population, without due attention to social inequalities, inherent to the class societies, which determine differentiated access to quantitative and qualitative food. The Food Guide don t put questions on the concept of healthy, and assimilate it uncritically. It depart from the premise that healthy eating is accessible to everyone, moving away from the concrete reality of the working class. We aim to demonstrate the need to review the fundamentals of social policies of food and nutrition and their instruments, and in particular the Food Guide. We look to make these more effective instruments, to serving accomplishing the human right to adequate food, to improving health and better quality of life. Perspective tends to difficult implementation, but that must be sought even in the capital society.
