The present article presents conclusions of a research developed in ENSP/Fiocruz, as part of the master's degree course. The research had inside as one of the objectives to investigate the women residents' of the Slum of Rocinha/RJ alimentary practices of the perspective socioantropológica. The results revealed that the feeding of the group was monotonous, with few variations of the menu composed basically by rice, bean, sugars and fats. We still observed the rejection to the industrialized products and canned. This pattern of alimentary consumption seems if it approximates of the Brazilian alimentary culture revealing the preservation of the national identity starting from the feeding. In that way, there is need to overcome presupposed around the relationship between alimentary consumption and obesity, especially in what he/she tells respect the predominant idea of changes in the diet with the incorporation of a diet "modern" or "western" that permeates great part of the studies in the field of the nutrition in Brazil. In this direction, we signaled the need to rescue the approach multidimensional for the studies about feeding and nutrition in the country. Such proposal implicates to overcome restricted conceptual pictures and the construction of new investigation calendars.
