The objective of this article is to identify and analyze the violence exercised by the corporate food power that affects participants of alternative food networks (AFN), based on the experiences of nine people who make up different AFN in the metropolitan region of Xalapa, Veracruz. Starting with the food regime theory, the conceptualization of violence and the role of these people as eaters, we observed the effects that they perceive both materially and subjectively, in relation to the construction of their identity and their vision of the ordering of the world. The methodology was based on dialogue circles with participatory mapping resources; which made it possibleco-create knowledge. The violence detected is articulated and spatially ordered by the corporate food power and its relationship with the States; and this violence slowly but daily erodes the ways of life, the environment and the health of the people involved. In particular, this violence threatens the freedom of these eaters to choose what to eat and what to be; it also infringes on their commitment to care for the earth and others beings; leading them to feel sadness, anger, guilt or shame. However, the afn allow to modify the places and resist violence.
