The Indigenous population has been experiencing an accelerated nutritional transition over time. Dietary habits typical of non-Indigenous populations have permeated these communities, bringing with them diseases stemming from such habits. This study aims to assess the nutritional status, dietary intake, and incidence of chronic non-communicable diseases within the Indigenous community of Serrinha, located in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. Two datasets were collected: field research involving a questionnaire administered to families to survey the community’s dietary habits, and data obtained from the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (SISVAN) covering the years 2014 to 2024. The findings indicate an excessive consumption of processed foods, alongside other habits that contribute to poor nutrition overall. As evidenced by SISVAN data, these habits are reflected in rising rates of overweight and obesity between 2014 and 2024. While the importance of public policy interventions in this scenario is clear, a critical question remains: how can this Indigenous community—and others like it—be shielded from the manifestations of a global epidemic?
