Bolivia to McDonald's: Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out

This is extremely important and heartening news --  to understand why, check out Fast Food Nation. 

Bolivia will become the first McDonald’s-free Latin American nation ...  Bolivians are not against hamburgers per se, just against ‘fast food,’ a concept widely unaccepted in the Bolivian community.

Fast-food represents the complete opposite of what Bolivians consider a meal should be. To be a good meal, food has to have be prepared with love, dedication, certain hygiene standards and proper cook time.

Here we see a close connection of political affect and political economy. You can resist neoliberal atomization just by paying attention to food production and consumption -- put more simply, eating food you make with people you love makes you feel less lonely and more connected and hence more aware that all social life bathes in the waters of "everyday communism."
