Today’s food travels thousands of miles before it reaches customers. Why is this? Is this a positive or negative trend?

We all need

food

to survive. It is thought that with the domination of cutting-edge technology,

such

as

,

food

is accessible to everywhere while others see it as a danger, rather than a boon. I totally support the mobile trend in

food

distribution.

First

of all, opponents of

this

tendency argue that the spread of

food

to far-away places is cost-ineffective.

Such

transportation, delivery

, staff management and other types of insurance are way beyond the pocket of suppliers.

However

, economically, it bestows upon both producers and consumers more noticeable benefits. Due to scarcity of

food

in some areas,

as a result

of frozen or extremely scorching weather, crop failures are predictable, leading to a skyrocketing price.

Hence

, with the in-time delivery from other zones which are available in

this

type of needed

food

, the prices can be curbed and their taste is fully satisfied while businessmen who truly prioritize the demand of customers over others gain a huge amount of profit.

Besides

, as living standards of human escalates non-stop, their need for varied

food

, from eastern to western, is more urgent than ever, especially in times of globalization. As there goes a saying “variety is the spice of life”,

food

transported from thousands of miles away from its farm is inevitable. The

second

disadvantage of

this

trend is believed to trigger the inability to control the quality of

food

and growing dependence of each nation. The past has shown that Roman, as a consequence of relying on

food chain supply

of other nations, ever saw its power going into steep

decline, whereas

the task of far-distance distribution can hardly ensure the thorough examination between suppliers and buyers, and trigger unwanted virus damaging the

food

.

Nevertheless

, gone are the days that

food

was easily ruined by external factors when refrigerators and other types of modern innovations are employed to keep

food

fresh and pasteurize it effectively. Another point is that Roman might have seen a quick economic recovery if successfully developing other industries to compensate for their lack of

food

supply. Geographically, each nation is born to be in a location which could be either suitable or hostile to

food

production, but by focusing on their inherent strengths and exchanging their products,

food

supply and other types of products are readily accessible to both, and at the same time,

this

is conducive to heightening the specialization in their production and maximizing their output in general.

Moreover

, with

this

trend growing ever-prevalent, procedures of supervising

food

set up by

food

experts are internationalized. Entering the market of Wal-mart in America, customers are able to choose the lowest price dishes, while still feeling satisfied with their quality by dint of clear markings of out-of-date and usage attached to each item. Equally important,

this

tendency is a contributor to pressuring local

food

companies to continuously enhance their quality;

otherwise

, customers will turn to other markets for better ones with less cost. All things considered, I strongly hold onto the view that more gains than pains are realized in

this

scenario for its cost-effective, motivational, win-win benefits for customers, producers and governments.
