Mexico is at the crossroads of an elite culinary destination and extreme social and economic injustice. The corporate takeover of Mexico's food sector has polarized the nation's diets and food systems. In our latest, we talk with Prof. Enrique Ochoa (@EC8A82) about his latest book, "Mexico Between Feast and Famine," and how food in Mexico encapsulates the contradictions and social inequity happening there.
