“Nostalgia, prestige and a party every day,” examines how food marketers and producers have manipulated cultural associations between food, status, identity and ideas about the past to boost market reach. Processed food alternately imitates and provides a counterpoint to ideas about “traditional” foods. At the same time, many people make efforts to retain habits and knowledge associated with milpa-based cuisine. The chapter acknowledges the inherent destructiveness of nostalgia in the variety that anthropologist Renato Rosaldo called “imperialist nostalgia,” mourning that which one has destroyed, in ways that further displace and destabilize historically dominant ways of preparing food.

The third chapter, “Laying the Groundwork for NAFTA” explores the political and economic context preceding NAFTA, and the ways that Mexico’s elected officials and business interests paved the way for the agreement and have benefited from it. The chapter unpacks the concepts of food sovereignty and food security, and how a push toward food security has produced the possibility of a Mexico that no longer produces food.

Chapter 2 explores Mexico’s ancestral cuisine and the ways that it has come to enjoy a moment of high prestige and appreciation in the global food marketplace in the last few years. The chapter discusses the question of ownership over the food traditions of Mexico and the ways that Mexican food has come to occupy a prominent place in elite, global food circles.

This chapter critiques some of the assumptions about the causes and solutions for obesity using anthropological and historical understandings of class and ethnic differences in Mexico. It unpacks Mexico’s policy response to obesity and diabetes, including its much lauded soda tax and poverty reduction policies, and demonstrates how a progressive and aggressive policy response has been stunted in ways that favor transnational food corporations, while deflecting the blame for diet-related illness onto individuals, especially women, and historically marginalized poor and indigenous populations. The chapter addresses the idea that better health and wellness can be achieved for the Mexican population through greater education and socialization into healthful ingredients and cooking styles, narrowly defined.
