TORRES TORRES, Felipe  y  ROJAS MARTINEZ, Agustín. Ultra-processed and fast food: towards the configuration of a hybrid food pattern. Prob. Des [online]. 2024, vol.55, n.217, pp.3-28.  Epub 18-Nov-2024. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2024.217.70084.

With the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Mexico experienced a rapid expansion in highly industrialized food and beverage products. This has transformed supply and distribution structures and led to changes in dietary patterns. The objective of this paper is to explain how these transformations led to the configuration of a hybrid distribution and consumption scheme that affected the expenditure, frequency and quantities of ultra-processed and fast foods consumed in Mexican households during the period 2000-2020. This hybrid model is associated with an increase in diseases such as obesity and chronic degenerative diseases.

Palabras llave : food and beverage industry; ultra-processed products; fast food; food consumption; obesity.
