People can eat a wide variety of food that can be grown in other areas. As a result, people eat more food produced in other regions than local food. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages.
在很多国家，人们现在可以吃到很广很多样的食物。因此，比起当地食物，他们会吃更多来自其他地区的食物。你认为这一发展的优点是否多于缺点?
单边讨论题，分析“人们更多的吃外来食物”这一现象的优点和缺点。本题只问优点和缺点，而并没有明确给出优缺点所涉及的具体对象。可以从市民生活和健康的角度，或是从商品市场和销售的角度，甚至是文化交流和融合的角度展开话题。
The innovation of both logistics transportation and refrigeration technology have already enriched residential dietary selection, people therefore obtain more opportunities to approach diverse food from all over the world and plenty of local food is meanwhile substituted by the exotic one. Personally, I do not think this tendency is absolutely positive.
Admittedly, visible benefits could be found under this change. Firstly, it could provide citizens with a wider range of options, extending their selections of ingredients beyond home-produced vegetables, fruits and meat, which could better cater to their appetite. Besides, it could, to a large extent, prevent the monopoly of local food towards the local catering market by promoting the benignant competition between imported food and local food. Otherwise, dominated by local suppliers for a long term, the lack of competition would lead to the decline of food quality within local market.
However, compared with the merits this practice can provide, its drawbacks in the long run may be more considerable. First and foremost, when confronting with increasingly abundant dietary choice, it is of difficulty for dwellers to resist the temptations brought by multiple foreign foods, and the overeating phenomenon will gradually develop into normal state, which is noxious to the public’ s physical well-being. Moreover, delivering food from one place to another via long-distance airline or railway transportation will inevitably consume a host of fuels, causing the huge expenditure on delivery and transportation, thereby triggering the rise of prices in those imported commodities and reducing their cost-effectiveness.
To conclude, even though this trend enriches the consumers' dietary enjoyment, while[however], if this enjoyment was at the cost of environment[health], it would not be supposed to be advocated among the public.
