The globalization of trade has given the wealthier share of the global population the impression that you can eat what you want. This fits well with the neoliberal ideology that portrays capitalism as democratic where people “vote with their wallets”. But it is an illusion – even for the rich countries. Rather than putting our faith in green consumerism we should strive to de-commodify food.
