As a result

,
people

are being lured towards foreign

, and are not consuming the local produce. I believe the disadvantages of imported
food

outweigh the advantages. On the positive side, the ready availability of
food

from across the globe gives us a lot of choices. We can taste a variety of fruits and vegetables from all parts of the world.
For example

, about ten years ago, we hardly saw Kiwi fruit, which is from Newzealand. But, now it has a place on every fruit stand.

Although

is the environmental cost. Currently, Mani

imports
