There is a school of thought that our culinary traditions as well as our customs of eating are undergoing significant changes. In my opinion, there are some possible reasons for this trend, and I believe that this change can bring both benefits and drawbacks to our life.
Firstly, it is understandable why the food we eat has changed. In the past, we only owned domestic products with limited options for delicacies, but nowadays, we can try out various kinds of dishes from every corner of the world . For example, fast food, such as pizza or hamburgers originating from the US, are now gaining more traction in Viet Nam. Secondly, the way we eat also changes due to a hectic lifestyle. Nowadays, people often lack time cooking or even eating; therefore, the habit of making hand-made meals is now replaced by the experience of dining out. Moreover, online services are more convenient, as buyers can order things from the comfort of our house, leading to a decrease in buying directly in the stores.
From my point of view, this trend can have both negative and positive effects. In terms of negative impacts, some traditional cuisines can be forgotten, especially in the global earth, as a result, the loss of conventional dishes can adversely affect a country’s culture. Moreover, this change can lead to a sedentary lifestyle and some health problems such as being overweight. However, there are some beneficial sides of this trend. First, trying out various foods can satisfy our taste buds and help us widen our horizons about cuisine from different parts of the world. As a result, we can learn to elevate our country’s cuisine. In addition, this trend is more convenient for a hectic and modern life, and people are now getting used to it.
In conclusion, I believe that due to the immigration of foreign food and a busy speed of life, the food and the way we eat has been changing. This change can have a negative influence on one’s country culture or health issues; however, it can still help people to improve their country’s food and adapt to modern lifestyle.
