Abstract

This article uses the anthropological approach to analyse such important concepts in public health as the perception of food security. We analyse to expert-mass media. First, quantify and reflect on the news appeared in national and regional newspapers in Spain in two different periods:the BSE crisis(2000-2002) and “food tranquillity”(2007). Secondly, we analysed the perception of food expert through a qualitative methodology.

Keywords
