Abstract

This paper aims to describe two of the broader world school lunch programs, the Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar
[National School Lunch Program], from Brazil, and the National School Lunch Program, from the United States. This review discusses
some of their differences and similarities regarding history, people included, the kind of management system, and the most important
advances in the last 10 years. Began almost at the same time (the 40’s and 50’s), the programs were created with similar goals but distinct
guidelines and management systems. The historical report of the programs shows the necessity these programs had of changing their
characteristics according to the political, economic and social environment.
