FAST FOOD in NEOLIBERALIZACIJA

(odlomek iz prihajajoče knjige o hrani)

Ali je mogoče invazijo instantne trash american materializirane ideologije v obliki fast fooda misliti kot del ameriške neoliberalne ekspanzivne politike; kot kontrarevolucionarni odgovor na svetovno kritiko amerikanizma in zahteve svetovne kulturne revolucije in antisistemskih gibanj konec 60. let?
