YANEZ-ANDRADE, Juan-Carlos. Nourishing the Worker and Improving Production. Food Programs in Large-scale Chilean Industry (1920-1950). Hist. Soc. [online]. 2020, n.38, pp.124-153. ISSN 0121-8417. https://doi.org/10.15446/hys.n38.73602.
This article analyzes the programs and actions developed by large-scale industrial plants to improve the nutritional conditions of the working class, with the aim of tackling occupational diseases and improving the productive performance of workers. Special interest is taken on knowing the role played by the family and women in their role as mothers and wives in transmitting the values associated with proper nutrition. The sources available for the study are the writings of physicians who addressed the issue of nutrition, especially in the workplace, the nutrition surveys developed between the late 1920s and the early 1940s, and the publications of the Social Welfare Departments of the different companies studied.
