In many countries nowadays, consumers can go to a supermarket and buy food produced all over the world. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

The past 50 years have seen a dramatic increase in the availability of

foods

produced in diverse parts of the world. Some may laud the convenience and excitement that would be accompanied by eating international

foods

in your home country,

while

, in

this

essay, I intend to argue that the drawbacks of

this

trend far outweigh its benefits. The reasons for

this

are as follows. First of all, I believe that the availability of international

foods

in supermarkets and getting used to eating them have a tendency to blur cooking

such

traditional

foods

of the host nation. A salient example of

this

is Pizza which is an Italian food and has become prevalent among youngers all over the world. Of course, access to

foods

with recipes and flavours from other nations familiarizes people with other cultures,

however

, too much diversity has a tendency to undermine a society by forgetting the traditional stuff and reluctance to eat them.

Secondly

and even more importantly, though, are the

health

problems associated with consuming these

foods

. Imagine diverse sorts of preservatives like sodium that go into the body to enhance

such

foods

' long-term durability. These substances are significantly detrimental to

health

and could result in serious ailments like cancer diabetes or heart disease.

According to

the statistics of the World

Health

Organisation, the number of sufferers from cancer has increased to 20% in 2022, and

such

foods

have had a considerable role to play in its growth. By way of conclusion, I once again reaffirm my position that

although

having access to international

foods

is accompanied by thrill and other appealing feelings,

due to

the

health

risks associated with

this

trend, I feel that exporting and importing them should be banned globally.
