Abstract

Over the years, especially after the French Revolution and World War II, human rights have been internalized by several institutions and legislation worldwide, such as the United Nations (UN). However, in practice, much still needs to be done for the regulations to be applied. In Brazil, although the right to food is guaranteed in the Federal Constitution, there is still a wide disparity in per capita food acquisition in the different regions, with greater acquisitions in the South, Southeast, and Midwest regions and a significant decrease in the North and Northeast regions. In addition, the use of antibiotics as performance enhancers (or growth promoters) in animal production can put the population's health at risk, given the antimicrobial resistance to important drugs used in human medicine. Thus, the objective of this work is to interdisciplinary defend the good nutrition of Brazilians.

Keywords: Food consumption, food security, basic human needs, fundamental rights, antimicrobial resistance, antibiotics.
