Resumen
The purpose of this work is to explore new perspectives related to food, life and health of organisms, particularly the human organism. For this, concepts such as eating, food and nutrition are addressed, starting from the understanding of these as complex phenomena, highlighting the importance of developing intervention models in nutrition focused on health and not on disease. For the above, this work elaborates a synthesis of the history of human feeding, giving a significant role to metabolism and homeostasis, emphasizing the importance of separating from anthropocentric visions. On the other hand, it makes an important review of the interaction between elements such as food, genetics, epigenetics, symbolic experiences, nutritional dark matter and phenotypic plasticity. Finally, it proposes the unification of the aforementioned through the construction of a computer modeling, using the Netlogo tool.
