This article aims to explore the connection between metaphors and the construction of argumentative polemics, revealing how a conception of metaphor dimensioned by discourses, beyond a mere figure of speech or thought, contributes to the understanding of dissent. To do so, it examines a corpus composed by publications of the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) portal on ultra-processed foods (Nupens-USP), published between 2020 and 2022, and analyzed from a cognitive-discursive perspective (Vereza, 2007, 2017; Gonçalves-Segundo, 2020) intertwined with the polemics theory (Amossy, 2017). Through the observation of the metaphors and the role played by them, it was possible to identify the use of situated and distributed metaphors operating in a dialogic way, and the construal of a Third Party that is alien to both the Proponent (MST) and the Opponent, in order to maintain the dissent between industrial food production, or linked to the agribusiness, and the production of in natura, or minimally processed foods, by MST.
