Prescripciones, entornos y desigualdades Solans, Andrea alimentación infantil promoción de la salud prevención de obesidad entornos desigualdades infant feeding health promotion obesity prevention environments inequalities The consideration of childhood obesity as a global epidemic mobilized different government levels to develop strategies to intervene collectively in diagnosing, treating and preventing these health problems. The aim of this paper is to analyze from a qualitative perspective the policies related to infant feeding in their global and local guidelines for the promotion of a healthy diet and the prevention of obesity. Numerous policies aim to change individual behaviors by encouraging the control of bodies through self-surveillance measures (own and that of the children), thus legitimizing the dominant social order. The focus in health and nutrition exclusively on individual responsibility makes social relations invisible, generating “strategic ignorance”. Policies that seek to regulate environments -for example, food labeling- allow the focus to be placed on industrial food processing. As a conclusion, it is pointed out that the regulatory policies of the environments allow to intervene in the relationships developed between people and their environments within the framework of inequities in communication and health. La consideración de la obesidad infantil como epidemia global movilizó a distintos niveles gubernamentales a elaborar estrategias para intervenir colectivamente en los modos de diagnosticar, tratar y prevenir estas problemáticas de salud. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar desde una perspectiva cualitativa las políticas referidas a la alimentación infantil en sus orientaciones globales y locales sobre promoción de la alimentación saludable y prevención de obesidad. Numerosas políticas apuntan a cambiar comportamientos individuales alentando el control de los cuerpos a través de medidas de autovigilancia (propia y la de los/as hijos) legitimando así el orden social dominante. La mira puesta exclusivamente en la responsabilidad individual en salud y alimentación invisibiliza las relaciones sociales generando “ignorancia estratégica”. Las políticas que buscan regular entornos -por ejemplo, los etiquetados de los alimentos- permiten poner el foco en el procesamiento industrial de los alimentos. Como conclusión se señala que las políticas regulatorias de los entornos permiten intervenir en las relaciones desplegadas entre las personas y sus ambientes en el marco de inequidades en comunicación y salud.
