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

In these days, global

food

demand has aroused people’s discussion.

However

, the consumption of imported

food

has gained popularity and is considered an alternative to domestic

On the other hand

, there some dazing advantages that can easily overshadow the demerits. By increasing the diversity of

food

,

food

produced in other regions provides customers with more options with exotic tastes and experiences that local people had not had previously. In fact, people these days from different countries are able to enjoy various kinds of products that are non-existent in their home countries.

food

, too much would be lost

as a result

. One should therfore weigh up the pros and cos and consider their priorities when deliberating whether or not to do
