Describes nutritional consequences of food changes. Offers useful evaluation of government programs providing assistance to the poor such as the Centros Populares de Abasto, run by Compañía Nacional de Subsistencias Populares (Conasupo) and its distributors Dicconsa and Liconsa"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
