In Brazil, the provision of school meals, mainly in the 1950s, aimed to serve mainly children in public schools, which due to economic factors present high rates of malnutrition, and thus characterized themselves as welfare workers. However, at the end of the 1990s, school meals started to be understood as a human right guaranteed by the Brazilian Constitution, and the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA). Incorporated into this right is the concept of food security, that is, the search for the guarantee of quality human food. In this context, the school has an essential role, as it has the function of integral training of the individual, offering and educating for the formation of healthy eating habits, guaranteeing quality of life, considering the guiding documents such as the Law of Guidelines and Bases National Education (LDBEN), as well as the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN´s). Thus, this work aims to discuss the importance of nutritional education of students for a healthy life.
