Abstract


The food present of the most industrialized countries seems to be characterized by an important paradox. On the one hand, there exists a plethoric offer of food that allows a few enormous possibilities of option. Besides, throughout the XXth century, the life expectancy on having been born is more than doubled. Likewise, the scientific knowledge on the food and on his effects in the human biology are today major that since it is never also the worry for the food safety and the means used to obtain it. On the other hand, nevertheless, seemingly, the worry of the citizens on the food that they consume is major than never and it is completely an appellant the question what can we eat without fear? To raise this paradox and to explain the different reasons that allow to understand (include) it are the aims of this article.
