Over the past decade, epidemiological studies highlight malnutrition as one of the diseases of the century. To address and prevent these problems States and civil society institutions design different types of interventions to regulate the intake of food of the population. These issues are not new. Since the last decades of the 19th and early 20th century in Argentina, a part of the pedagogic discourse has been aimed at teaching children attending primary school what, how much and how to eat. This work, paper, article explores the concepts and practices on the subject that were articulated in the state pedagogic discourse and the actions through which they were spread in Argentina. Two official pedagogical journals are used as sources of research.

Keywords : Discourse; Health; Moral; Dietetic; School.
