In many countries, people like to eat a wide variety of food that are grown in other areas. As a result, they eat more food produced in other regions than local food. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

Over the past decades, daily diet has gained currency an issue of broad interest to the general public. Many adopt a view that they prefer exotic food from other regions rather than indigenous food. While this tendency is becoming popular and has several benefits. However, to the best of my kownledge its drawback are more considerable for the following reasons.

Firstly, there is no point in denying that food from other countries is far too fabulous. Nowadays, many nutritionist studies have shown that food are imported from other regions to increase the varieties of food, thereby guaranteeing the sufficient intake of nutrition. For instance, those who live in cold areas where severe weather poses various difficulties to farming activities. Thus, they can consume fruits that they are grown in tropical regions, striking a balance the consumption of meat and fiber. In addition, this development could encourage bilateral trading activities between different areas. For example, a country or region can channel into manufacturing industrial products and exchange them with others, which is consistent with the global trend of specialization.

Secondly, another point that should be taken into serious consideration is that they eat more food from foreign countries, it is more likely to have devastating impact on sound lifestyle (the more food from foreign countries they eat, the more likely to have devastating impact on sound lifestyle). An argument raised by objectors to this is that exotic food is marvelous for people’s health, because of its products less fertilizers and pesticides. This justification is probably true to some extent; nevertheless, it should be acknowledge that one of its potential harms is that to prolong fruit longevity, especially that of perishable agricultural products, preservatives are commonly used in food processing, which wreaks havoc on consumer’s health, as these additives may contain some detrimental substances. In addition, another problem that should be taken into account is that excessive consumption of exotic fruits and ignoring the possibility of developing industrialized farming may disable a country from striking food security or self-sufficiency. A telling example is Norway, statistics have shown that increasing preference to imported food has made this country heavily dependent on food supply from neighboring countries.

In conclusion, under no circumstances should citizens use domestic products. Give that, exotic products have devastating impact on sound lifestyle for reasons as mentioned above.
