There is an increased use of chemicals, to produce and preserve

food

. In my opinion, I think the disadvantages far outweighs the benefits of reduced

cost

of production, and longevity of foods. One of the main advantages of using chemicals to process

and and

and

is very beneficial to countries, where there are high cases of farmland infestation.

On the other hand

preservatives

can be devastating, due to the increase in toxins and diseases, which will result in high cases of death.
