Produktinformationen zu „Eating NAFTA (ePub)“
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.
