Od jabłka do „chińczyka”. Praktyki żywieniowe bohaterek prawniczych seriali stacji TVN

Abstract

In this article I try to analyze the dietary habits of the female protagonists of TVN legal TV series Magda M. and Agata’s Law. Although there’s been only a five year gap between original broadcasts of Magda M. and Agata's Law and action of both takes place in Warsaw lawyers environment, their lifestyle, food styles and upper-middle class problems are presented in a completely different way. Those TV series start a reflection on whether the protagonists of the series are paying attention to what they eat and whether food can be a determinant of social relationships. Analyzing the jungle of conflicting signals about diets, the growing trends for cooking and healthy nutrition, I ask the question about choices of independent and self-sufficient female protagonists of drama series, whose creators recognize that pro-health attitudes should be promoted among viewers.
