ABSTRACT
This chapter connects to the thematic tabs colonial, nature, race, science, structure and women. As a chef, scholar and activist advocating decolonization, Rodriguez reads the autonomous health and nutrition projects of the Zapatistas as decolonial practices, actions aimed at de-linking from the intersectional hierarchies created by the colonial system. Rodriguez's contribution is to demonstrate how matters of nutrition and health intermingle with the Zapatista struggle over their ancestral territories. Grassroots indigenous social movements like the Zapatista Autonomous Communities in Chiapas, Mexico working to end hunger, malnutrition and the everyday violence of 'Neoliberal Globalization' as their spokesperson Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos has called it, offer critical lessons in decolonizing food, nutrition and health. Not all Zapatista autonomous communities are advancing at the same rates in terms of strengthening the health, curing alcoholism, ending domestic violence, providing education, establishing governance and implementing the Zapatista Revolutionary Law For Women.
