Food plays a pivotal role in our life. While many people believe that local dishes are a good choice for the environment and economy, others prefer to eat foods that are shipped from far away. In my view, I believe the advantages of local food overshadow its disadvantages.
There are many benefits from buying native food. First, these are foods grown in the garden and carefully cared for, so the food is always fresh and brings many health benefits to customers. Second, eating local cuisine will help protect the environment more because the food is used on the spot, avoiding packaging and creating plastic waste in the environment.
For example, in recent years there have been pandemics caused by contaminated food transported from abroad. Therefore, local food is more economical and environmentally friendly to create a better and more prosperous life. Local dishes also contribute to economic improvement for people because the number of customers buying food is large.
In addition to the benefits mentioned, local food also has some limitations. It does not have diversity or richness in raw materials because some specific dishes must be grown in a suitable region. Therefore, it will easily cause boredom for customers and they tend to order food from far away.
In conclusion, although there are drawbacks of eating domestic food, the advantages its brings out to develop the economy and protect the environment totally outweigh the disadvantages.
