Some people believe people should consume locally grown food while others believe food should be transported for consumption. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages

#people #food #consumption
Nowadays, there is an increasing trend among society to support homegrown eatables whereas some others advocate the attractiveness of imported
items
.
Although
 both views have up and downsides, positive aspects of locally produced
food
items
 are highly considerable compared to
items
 from far away places. In
this
 essay, I will elaborate on both views through different aspects. On one side, local products are an all-time favourite to the community as it is fresh and free from pesticides. Here sources, as well as sellers of the product, are well known to customers which builds trust and reliability among the people in a particular locality.
Moreover
, fresh products always ensure a high amount of vitamins, minerals and other important ingredients of the item which in turn help to keep a healthy life. Even though there are some undesirable issues like a limited number of produces in the local market, the usability is high compared to other options. On the other side, there are people who enjoy imported
items
 of produce from different places. These customers always looking for variety and need to enjoy the
food
 from different sources. But, some products are highly perishable and
therefore
 it is very difficult to preserve the freshness during transportation. in
such
 a situation, pesticides and other chemicals ever have been used during the movement of
items
 from one place to another.
Moreover
, uncontrolled use of harmful chemicals is badly affecting human health. To conclude, there is no doubt that people can enjoy a variety of eatables in a large market which sells
food
 from a number of places whereas the fresh produces, even though it is limited, always ensure freshness and is free from chemicals.
Hence
, it is clear that the advantages of locally grown
food
items
 are always outweighed the disadvantages.
