Today, many people can buy special food which is expressed from other countries far from them easily and conveniently.I believe this is a significant advantage. However this may pose a threat to the local environment and increase crime.
Firstly, these foods transported from other countries give opportunities to try new feelings. 150 years ago, people who lived in Europe or North America never even tasted bananas.But at present, we can buy those tasty and bizarre fruits or foods from close markets, this means we can try something new which our ancestors did not even see.Secondly, buying food from developing countries also helps the local people. This creates more jobs and boosts local economic growth and the local government could use profit from producing food or fruit to improve quality of education and healthy care.
By contrast, buying foreign food also has its drawbacks. In some countries, people want to produce or yield more profitable food or fruit and thus they cut down trees to get more land and plant some kinds of specific crops or fruits.This is happening in some developing countries. For example, In China, for yielding more oranges and selling to Europe, farmers even cut down many old trees, this considerably damages the local environment and increases the risk of flooding.
To sum up, this is clear that this is a remarkable advantage if people can enjoy new food that they did not try while buying and producing these can bring disadvantages they do not know.
