[Developments, implications and ramifications in food and nutrition care: analysis of an official Brazilian publication].

The scope of this paper is to analyze the discursive strategies of a Ministry of Health publication, by virtue of the fact that another notion of food and nutrition care (FNC) emerges from them. Through discourse analysis, the results are interpreted mainly in the light of Edgar Morin and Anemarie Mol's studies. The analysis identified elements of the complex thinking constituting a broadened perspective about the food and FNC practices in the context of matrix support.
