Keywords: food culture, Stanisław Krauze, bromatology, food, food ethics

Abstract

Food in the hierarchy of human needs is at the forefront. Its quantity and quality determine health and possibility of survival. As consumers, we strive to ensure that one of our basic needs, i.e. satisfying hunger, is met with good, wholesome and simply unadulterated food. The man who changed the culture of food and nutrition through scientific work in XX-the century Poland was Stanisław Krauze. A world-renowned scientist, relentless in his concern for the health of citizens, he made a huge contribution to the Polish struggle for the right of every citizen to purchase and consume safe food. Krauze is the founder of the Polish school of bromatology. The aim of this article is to present, in a non-exhaustive way, a biography of Stanisław Krauze, highlighting the most important events and achievements of this scientist. The following part of the article includes an extension of three threads that emphasize his impact on the culture of food and nutrition in Poland and worldwide.
