Weekend reading: two books about the effects of NAFTA
I was invited to review two books about NAFTA’s effects on foods systems for The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology:
- Gerardo Otero’s The Neoliberal Diet: Healthy Profits, Unhealthy People
- Alyshia Gálvez’s Eating NAFTA: Trade, Food Policies, and the Destruction of Mexico (noted earlier on this site).
The journal titled the review “How neoliberalism ruins traditional diets and health.” You can read it here.
