Abstract
In recent years, a number of preoccupations at the global, regional and national level
have been aimed to find solutions to the current problems in the field of food consumption
in children and young people, given the fact that both food insufficiency and food abuse
generate negative effects on health.
In Romania, the economic context consisting of the existence of a large number of children
whose diet is insufficient made European programs for granting food in schools, during
class hours, to be useful and to have social relevance.
The article examines, starting from the Romanian legislative framework underpinning such
programs, the coordinates of these efforts, concluding that they represent in the same time
instruments of national food policy.
