People cart 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?

. I think that the advantages are outweighed by the disadvantages.
The most obvious benefit of transporting goods over a long distance is that they give people
a lot of choices. For example
, people
prefer imported foods
because they can taste a variety of fruits and vegetables from all parts of the world, or local foods
might be unsafe. Another benefit is that importing food
increases the overall
economy. Small farmers in less developed countries might find it more profitable to produce food
for markets far away. Also
, the whole process of transporting food
creates jobs for many people
to get employment in this
field.
On the other hand
, it is certainly the case that importing food
leads to the loss of local culture and the damage of environment
that would be difficult to restore. Correct article usage
the environment
This
can be seen in countries such
as Vietnam where the prevalence of imported food
from Western countries has endangered the popularity of traditional, local produce. Although
this
is believed as a natural part of globalisation, it erodes people
's understanding of their own food
traditions, and any loss of local culture would be detrimental. The environmental cost of importing foods
should be recognised. Foreign foods
are transported by air or ship and refrigerated to keep them fresh during the transporting process, thereby increasing pollution from exhaust fumes.
In conclusion, it is obvious that people
and the economy benefit from importing more food
grown in other areas. However
, the long-term and irreversible drawbacks are much greater.Submitted by danglephuonguyen on
