The advanced transportation and more diverse food preference render it

possible and necessary that people can choose food which is not cultivated

locally. As popular to some extent it might be, I do not suppose that it is a

wise choice to follow this trend without second thought.

The food, cultivated and sent from other places, can offer more choices for

the ordinary customers indeed. This is because their options for food are not

only confined to their home-produced vegetables, fruits and meat, and they are

likely to be bombarded with a wider range of food. This can subsequently

intensify the competition between the food suppliers, and the customers can

enjoy a relatively lower price.

However,compared with the benefits this practice can provide, leading a life

that depends on food from other areas cannot be sustainable and turning to local

food is thus environment-friendly. The local food means that the distance from

farm to table is shorter and renders the transportation convenient. Without long

distance transportation of food, the emission of exhaust will be cut down and

less greenhouse gases will be discharged into the environment. In the

meantime,delivering food from one place to another will consume a host of fuels

because lorries or vans are driven by energies, it is really not so insightful

to put such a heavy burden on the transportation only for the enjoyment of more

food.

In conclusion, the local food is sufficient to sustain the locals to have a

balanced diet and healthy life, more transported food can do little else and

even bring about some environmental problems.
