People can eat a wide variety of food that can be grown in other areas. As a result, people eat more food produced in other regions than local food. Do you think the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?

Due to globalization, people tend to try different cuisines. Consumption of produce from different regions than your own is increasing.

Although

a metropolitan city should have various options, I believe individuals should consume local food, as it is more beneficial.

In other words

, if people buy more from local vendors, sales and tax collection will be increased, resulting in higher economy.

For instance

Furthermore

, feed grown in your city is cheaper because the duties and government taxes paid on imported food are higher.

For example

Secondly

, seasonal and local feed is way healthier than others. The produce imported from far distances has to be frozen in order to keep its freshness, which reduces its nutritional value. Like, most of the meat in supermarkets is bought frozen and

kept on shelves for as long as 4 weeks.

In addition
