This article presents conclusions of research conducted at Ensp/Fiocruz, as part of a master's degree course. One of the objectives of the research to investigate the eating habits of women living in the Rocinha Shantytown (Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil) from a socio-anthropological perspective. The results revealed that the eating habits of the group were repetitive, with few variations in the menu consisting basically of rice, bean, sugars and fats. We further observed the rejection of industrialized and canned products. This food consumption pattern seems to conform to Brazilian food culture revealing the preservation of the national identity based on feeding habits. Consequently, it is necessary to set aside presuppositions regarding the relationship between food consumption and obesity, especially with respect to the predominant idea of changes in diet with the incorporation of a "modern" or "western" diet that prevail in studies in the field of nutrition in Brazil. In this sense, we signaled the need to reassert a multidimensional approach for studies about food and nutrition in the country. This proposal involves overcoming restricted conceptual outlooks and the creation of new avenues of investigation.
本文介绍了作为硕士学位课程一部分，在巴西奥斯瓦尔多·克鲁兹基金会国家公共卫生学院开展的研究结论。该研究的目标之一是从社会人类学角度调查居住在罗西尼亚棚户区（巴西里约热内卢）的女性的饮食习惯。结果显示，该群体的饮食习惯较为单一，菜单变化很少，主要包括米饭、豆类、糖和脂肪。我们还观察到她们对工业化和罐装食品的排斥。这种食物消费模式似乎符合巴西饮食文化，揭示了基于饮食习惯的民族身份的保留。因此，有必要摒弃关于食物消费与肥胖之间关系的预设，特别是关于巴西营养领域研究中普遍存在的随着“现代”或“西方”饮食的引入而改变饮食习惯的主流观点。从这个意义上说，我们指出有必要重申对该国食物和营养研究采用多维度方法。这一提议涉及克服狭隘的概念观点并开辟新的研究途径。
