The present essay has objected to understand the fundamental rights to food and the nutritional significance in the public school realm. The research was based on the review of periodicals and normatives inherent to the PNAE and the nutritional influence on the students, with emphasis in the city of Triunfo-PB. The datas of 2016 indicate the Country with about 27.5 million students in primary education. In Paraíba, there are 587 thousand in 2015.
