In

modern era, it seems to be fashionable of eating foods that are shipped from other countries. Some people

a

of showing their wealth by consuming the foods that are imported. And some others think that

local

is more environmental and economical. I would like to extend my views about the advantages of the local

over the shipped

.
Nowadays, items that are produced by the developed countries are mostly imported

the developing and under developing countries.

belonging to these countries get attracted towards those products. One among these is the

items. The eatables

as vegetables, fruits, canned drinks, packaged

are shipped

other countries. To preserve these items they are adding many additives and preservatives which may cause health issues among people. But people are not bothering about these consequences because they got addicted to these

materials especially youngsters and children. I would like to share an example regarding

case. My

family always prefers to eat the packaged foods and tinned soft drinks. After a certain period, their son of age 15 was

from stomach cancer. Doctors reported that the reason behind

is prolonged consuming of

. So

of

foods are not good for health.
In recent days,

some people have the awareness about these kind of products and they are neglecting to purchase those

products. They

to buy the items that are produced and manufactured locally. Because, in these items they are not adding any preservatives and if

the case only less quantity of preservatives are included which will not affect the health.

, the fruits and vegetables that are grown here are sent to the market immediately for sale and there is no necessity to add any chemicals to keep them fresh. So the people knew that the foods that are produced in their home town are organic and

compared to those shipped foods. These foods can be consumed by people of any age. From these organic

we can obtain the nutritional values as

and there is no harm to take

of foods.
In my conclusion, I want to make clear that consuming

that are produced locally have more nutritional values and it provides people to lead a healthy life which is more important and it is the main advantage which outweigh the disadvantages of the shipped

items.
