The Refusal of the Vegetables Consumption : A Resistance Act ?

We shall present an analysis of an experimental action of supply in fresh vegetables and premises implementation, in France, by one of the actors of the food aid. This experiment is  connected with the will of an appreciation of the food of the disadvantaged said social classes. The consumption of vegetables (the set of three : hunger / bad balances food / problems of health) allows to build the Other one, " poors ", as radically different from ourselves and seems to serve as measure and to « make border ». 

Considering the actors in presence: beneficiaries, volunteers, persons in charge of grocer's shops, in their culinary practices and respective food representations, taking into account their routes and statuses ; observing food retailings in social grocer's shops of the Southwest and the Central France, the concrete organization and the means of the grocer's shop, we question the idea of the lack of taste of the beneficiaries for vegetables; suspected, of having none of it, and thus of foiling the initiatives.

It is during these daily relations voluntary / responsible for grocer's shops / beneficiaries and within the framework of the intrinsic relations of power in the food aid, as much as in routes and statuses of the profitable persons, that takes place the way the food practices build themselves.

Between the lines, we shall highlight how the border builds itself between the " good eaters " and the " bad eaters ". The representations of a " good food " revealing in hollow the "bonuses" or the places" in the society that are  looking for those who get involved there, particularly, the volunteers and those who refuse it, to whom this action is supposed to benefit, the beneficiaries, these categories sometimes confirming itself.
