Resumen

El objetivo central de este artículo es comprender la relación entre la estética, el consumo y el desperdicio de alimentos, en particular frutas, verduras y hortalizas (FV), y cómo esto determina tanto los patrones de consumo como el desperdicio de estos alimentos. Y también, como objetivo secundario, señalar algunas formas de reevaluar los patrones de consumo actuales y establecer otros nuevos, con el objetivo de minimizar el desperdicio de FV. A través de una revisión narrativa de la literatura que abarca las áreas de filosofía, artes, ciencias del consumo (marketing, comportamiento del consumidor, etc.), ciencias de los alimentos e historia, principalmente, y sociología, economía y psicología, secundarias, el artículo utiliza las categorías estéticas de belleza y feo, perfecto e imperfecto, así como el concepto de juicio estético para completar un breve recorrido histórico de la estética, y no sólo comprender las preferencias y elecciones de los consumidores por los FV considerados “bellos” y estéticamente perfectos, así como las consecuencias de dichas preferencias y decisiones sobre el bienestar social y el medio ambiente. Utilizando los conceptos de “estética cotidiana” y “estética imperfeccionista”, así como “artevismo alimentario” y “gastropolítica”, la obra explora el potencial del arte y la gastronomía para, a través de la experiencia estética, resaltar cuestiones éticas relacionadas con el consumo y el desperdicio de alimentos, con el objetivo de contribuir a repensar conceptos y estándares rígidos y estereotipados.
