Today’s
food travels thousands of miles before it reaches customers. Is this a positive
or negative trend?
In today's
world we are sometimes unaware of the distant places our food, which we buy at nearby
markets, comes from. Our food often travels long distances to be sold to the final
customers. In this essay I am going to show the advantages and disadvantages of
such a trend.
Nowadays food
consumers have a huge choice of food to buy because some of it comes from distant countries some
of which we don’t even know the existence of. We are able to eat unique
specialities from different part of the world every day of the year. If you
live for example in Europe you can purchase fruits from South America and it
has never been easier.
Lower
prices are very important to families. Thanks to imported foods, the
competition between importers and local producers is high and privides more
competitive pricing.
There are however,
disadvantages of long distance food travel. It is obvious that certain food
cannot maintain its freshness for a long period which is why chemicals are often
added. This means that even after a month fruit looks fresh and tastes great.,
but are these substances healthy for people? I am inclined to believe that it
is questionable.
It is commonly
known that when there is more imported food available, the local food market suffers.
Sometimes local producers go bankrupt so imported food is not always a good thing
for everyone.
In
conclusion I believe that food globalisation has positive and negative aspects.
We should choose our produce more carefully and keep all variables in mind when
shopping for our food.
