Abstract

The research on the consumption of greasy bureks showed that some groups of high school children, by indulging in that specific type of pastry, opposed the dominant healthy lifestyle discourse with which they were bombarded in media, advertising, formal and informal education etc. But this opposition cannot be primarily understood as an explicit rebellion against the hegemonic ideas of healthy lifestyle discourse, from which the burek automatically avails itself due to its proverbial greasiness. The opposition of this particualr age group could probably be better understood as a rebellion with and for the burek, and not as a direct and planned revolt against the dominant healthy lifestyle discourse. Moreover, healthy lifestyle discourse looms up, attaches itself like an appendage or a parasite onto the popular burek, a cheap, almost always and everywhere available and filling food, which additionally conditions and colours the rebellion with/for the burek.
