Food, integration and change of perspective. Future challenges of eating behavior

Abstract

It is an undeniable fact that perception of reality is a product of the perspective with which it is approached and analyzed. In this sense, study and research of feeding behavior as an emerging area of science is based on a multi, trans and interdisciplinary perspective, which allows addressing food phenomena from an extensive and detailed vision, thus ensuring scientific certainty. However, this ability to address food phenomena from this broad perspective has only recently been achieved, and the resistance to continue with unidisciplinary visions is still latent. The present article establishes as a reflection, the need to create a change in the general scientific perspective, in order to ensure an adequate understanding of the phenomena of nature. It describes the particular case of a group of researchers who have undertaken a systematic effort to implement a comprehensive and articulated approach to the food phenomenon.
