Resumen
In shutting down entire societies, the
COVID-19 pandemic has exposed
the fundamental inequities and
inadequacies of market-driven
economies that prioritise profits over
human welfare. Inequities show up in
businesses that furlough employees
while paying high salaries and bonuses
to executives. They are also revealed
by the dependence of food systems
on poorly paid workers and cheap
global supply chains. The COVID-19
crisis demonstrates how current food
systems fail to protect populations
from hunger and diet-influenced noncommunicable diseases and why the
poor, disenfranchised, discriminated
against, and chronically ill are those
most vulnerable to this disease.
