Mexican cuisine has emerged as a paradox of globalization. Food enthusiasts throughout the world celebrate the humble taco at the same time that Mexicans are eating fewer tortillas and more processed food. Today Mexico is experiencing an epidemic of diet-related chronic illness. The precipitous rise of obesity and diabetes—attributed to changes in the Mexican diet—has resulted in a public health emergency.
In her gripping new book, Alyshia Gálvez exposes how changes in policy following NAFTA have fundamentally altered one of the most basic elements of life in Mexico—sustenance. Mexicans are faced with a food system that favors food security over subsistence agriculture, development over sustainability, market participation over social welfare, and ideologies of self-care over public health. Trade agreements negotiated to improve lives have resulted in unintended consequences for people’s everyday lives.

Alıntılar

    2007, 70 percent of the tortillas and cornmeal consumed in Mexico were produced by a single company, Gruma, owned by the “Tortilla King,” Roberto González Barrera, a Forbes billionaire whose family enjoyed very close ties, and some say, nepotistic favoritism, with the family of former Mexican president Carlos Salinas.

    many campesinos do not make a sharp distinction between agriculture, food preparation, and consumption, but see them all as a continual effort to sustain households over time and generations

    while Mexican cuisine is elevated and celebrated, the food system in Mexico today is structured so that Mexico’s ancestral foodways may not survive, except as a relic.
