Apesar da internacionalização da indústria alimentícia, culturas diferentes, religiões e estilos de vida podem ditar o que se deve comer e o que não se deve. Nesse conjunto de interditos e modos de se alimentar inclui-se o vegetarianismo, que vem atraindo contingentes populacionais significativos na contemporaneidade. Isto tem conseqüências para a questão da corporeidade, se levarmos em consideração que o que se come nos constitui, no sentido biológico e natural, mas que na verdade é ditado pela cultura e pela história. A pesquisa foi realizada na cidade de Rio Claro, com pessoas que possuem como escolha alimentar o vegetarianismo. Os dados foram coletados através de fontes primárias e secundárias. Nesse sentido, este projeto de pesquisa teve como problema compreender, entre pessoas que presentemente adotam a alimentação vegetariana, os objetivos que norteiam esta opção, como representam “os corpos” e como concebem a relação com a posição do homem na natureza. Após a análise dos resultados pudemos perceber que existe uma intermitência na prática do vegetarianismo. Foi possível constatar que argumentos ambientalistas, argumentos científicos relacionados à saúde e argumentos religiosos legitimam a prática vegetariana. Em relação aos cuidados com a saúde, os vegetarianos possuem práticas que denominamos de naturalistas, ou seja, que vão contra a biomedicina. A atividade física é caracterizada pelas práticas alternativas e o vegetariano pode ser caracterizado por uma junção entre o corpo, o espírito e o meio ambiente. Estudos que relacionam alimentação e corporeidades trazem questionamentos interessantes e inovadores para os profissionais de educação física e da motricidade humana. / We can say that the feeding is a junction between natural - survival - and cultural - in charge one, this, to dictate the remaining portion all. Although the different internationalization of the nourishing industry, cultures, religions and styles of life can dictate what if it must eat and what not if must. In this set of interdicts and ways of if feeding the vegetarianism is included, that comes attracting contingent population significant currently. This has consequences for question of body image, if to lead in consideration that what it is eaten constitutes in them, in the biological and natural direction, but that in the truth is dictated by the culture and history. The research was carried through in the city of Rio Claro, with people whom they possess as alimentary choice the vegetarianism. The data had been collected through primary and secondary sources. In this direction, this project of research had as problem to understand, between people who presently adopt the vegetarian feeding, the objectives that guide this option, as they represent “the bodies” and as they conceive the relation with the position of the man in the nature. After the analysis of the results we could perceive that a phases in the practical one of the vegetarianism exists. It was possible to evidence those ambient arguments, scientific arguments related to the health and religious arguments legitimize the practical vegetarian. In relation to the cares with the health, the vegetarians possess practical that we call of naturalists, that is, that they go against the traditional medicine. The physical activity is characterized by the practical alternatives and a junction between the body, the spirit and the environment can characterize the vegetarian. Studies that relate feeding and body image bring interesting and innovative questionings for the professionals of physical education.

The vegetarian social movement is a “new” social movement based in lifestyle and cultural change. New social movements hold a strong emphasis on collective identity and social networks as a means to sustain participation. The majority of the social movement literature remains focused on movement engagement and mobilization while a large gap exists regarding disengagement. This project explores the barriers to vegetarian maintenance. The primary question answered is, why do some vegetarians and vegans backslide and withdraw from the practice? Fourteen individuals were interviewed to discover the social and cultural factors inherent in vegetarian instability. Over the course of the interviews, the project morphed into an analysis of why and how my respondents changed their food habits over time and what was the context that prompted these changes. Vegetarianism is a unique movement as definitions of what constitutes a vegetarian is rooted in the individual, idiosyncratic biographies of individuals. This study found the influence of family, traditions, labels/definitions, peers, gender and the lure of social status to be very significant regarding vegetarian flux. Results indicate that vegetarian membership is fluid and permeable, takes on a life course trajectory and is rooted within the context of many social and cultural factors. Uncovering the barriers to vegetarianism not only adds to the disengagement aspect of social movement research, but also hopes to iv aid movement leaders in overcoming this problem as well as further substantiate and progress the vegetarian social movement.
