La table est en ce moment au centre de toutes les attentions, et de bien des tensions. Gageons que ces pages sauront vous proposer des pistes d'analyse et de réflexion réalistes, mais surtout goûteuses et détendues. Manger, ce n'est pas simplement s'alimenter. Cet acte convoque dans nos assiettes et autour de nos tables un ensemble de règles, de normes, de valeurs et d'interdits avec lesquels nous devons composer nos repas. En ce sens, manger est une action profondément culturelle. Toujours, le symbolique y outrepasse le physiologique. Ces pages proposent une lecture originale du contenu de nos assiettes. Elles interrogent le statut des aliments, les contextes de table, les différentes manières de manger, et les nouvelles tendances en termes de restauration. Une grande part est accordée à la ritualisation et à la théâtralisation de l'alimentation. Alternent dans cet ouvrage des analyses fouillées du buffet à volonté ou des fast-foods, et de courts chapitres non départis d'humour, consacrés aux kebabs, aux « sushis bars », aux plateaux de fruits de mer, au barbecue ou aux lois présidant au règlement de l'addition en fin de soirée. Ce livre permettra à ses lecteurs de passer dans les coulisses de l'alimentation considérée comme système symbolique, afin de comprendre pourquoi et comment nous mangeons au jour le jour ; et de reconsidérer quels sont, en 2013, les risques, mais surtout les rites et les plaisirs alimentaires.

The current 5th edition of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR 2012) puts the whole diet in focus. The recommendations emphasize food patterns and nutrient intakes that, in combination with sufficient and varied physical activity, are optimal for development and function of the body and that contribute to a reduced risk of certain diet-associated diseases. The development of the NNR is based on current scientific knowledge and an overall assessment of the available evidence.Previous editions of the NNR mainly focused on setting DRVs for the intake of, and balance between, individual nutrients for use in planning diets for various population groups. In the current 5th edition, however, more emphasis is put on the role of dietary patterns and food groups in contributing to the prevention of the major diet-related chronic diseases. Nutrition research has traditionally strived to identify the specific mechanisms and health impacts of single nutrients, but most foods contain many nutrients as well as a multitude of other potential bioactive constituents that can affect bioavailability, uptake, and metabolic responses. Nutrients and other constituents interact with each other and the surrounding food matrix in complex ways. Thus, associations between single factors and chronic disease can be difficult to identify and difficult to interpret. In contrast, studies of dietary patterns or whole diets examine the association of combinations of many foods and nutrients with health.The NNR 2012 has established the scientific evidence for an optimal intake and combination of nutrients for various groups in the general population. The evidence underlying the DRVs for nutrients includes the scientific evidence regarding food and nutrient intakes and dietary patterns and thus also accounts for factors other than nutrients.Long-term energy balance and adequate physical activity are other importantcharacteristics of healthy nutrition and lifestyle. NNR 2012 putsemphasis on the importance of adequate physical activity that, in combinationwith an appropriate food pattern, supports the long-term maintenanceof a healthy body weight.The scientific documentation is found in the individual chapters.
