Vulnerability, adaptation and resistance in Mexican food culture

a perspective from Cultural Fronts

Abstract

Mexico is living a food crisis, which consequences can be seeing in the height rate of obesity and the non-communicable disease linked to malnutrition. In article we present an interpretation about the Mexican food culture’s changes that have generated the so-called obesity epidemic. Using the analytic framework of Cultural Fronts we describe the vulnerability, the adaptation and resistance in Mexican food culture in order to explaine the symbolic relations between food and Mexican society.
