#FidelCastro #Cuba #USA #IceCream When authoritarian leaders obsess over a particular food, it can change how a country eats and drinks for generations. This week, we’re looking at five cases of dictator food projects and what they reveal about the power of food. Previously: how Nazi Germany sought whales  to turn into margarine  and the oddly  autocratic roots of pad Thai . IN THE 1960S, FIDEL CASTRO  faced many challenges by becoming an ideological enemy of the United States.

It's an unorthodox proposal in a city accustomed to ideas that flare up and die out. But, backers say, the plan is for real. "Los Angeles is a gorgeous city," said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who plans to announce the project Thursday at a Metropolitan Transportation Authority meeting. "It lays out at night like this bed of jewels. This isn't something that's just about Dodgers ga...
