Why is it feminine?
Comidas is feminine in Portuguese because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "comida," which is the feminine past participle of "comedere" (to eat). In Latin, this past participle form functioned as a noun meaning "food" or "meal" and carried feminine gender. Portuguese retained both the feminine gender and the feminine ending "-a" from its Latin ancestor through Romance language evolution, which is typical for Portuguese nouns ending in "-a."
