{"product_id":"eating-nafta-alyshia-g-lvez-9780520291812","title":"Eating NAFTA: Trade, Food Policies, and the Destruction of Mexico","description":"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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In her gripping new book, Alyshia G疝vez 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alyshia G疝vez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520291816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520291812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Alyshia G疝vez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994113343743,"sku":"9780520291812","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_428228af-b319-4e8d-8485-3a95de2fef2b.jpg?v=1683328204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eating-nafta-alyshia-g-lvez-9780520291812","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
