This chapter details the history of American-led globalization and food culture. It highlights the power of hegemony as a fundamental part of socialization regarding food. Dutch and British hegemony promoted free trade and saw the proliferation of spices and ingredients from around the world. The decline of Great Britain led to the rise of the United States—synonymous with highways, car culture, fast food, and convenience food. This builds on the work of Karl Polyani, arguing that eating habits are commodified, a reflection of our highly competitive liberal economic system. While many tend to see American hegemony as a reflection of political influence and economic domination, this chapter measures it through eating habits and cultural change. The way we eat is a product of American hegemony. Globalization socialized people and their culture, bringing these closer together, resulting in food fusion. Hence, this chapter discusses hegemony through food.
