The author argues that eating of the local food is said not only to have health benefits but also friendly to the environment. Most of the environmental challenges and health issues people are facing today said to emanate from the modern eating habits. Necessarily there are many reasons advanced on why people need to turn to eat the local food rather than the global ones. Therefore it is prudent that the US consider controlling the food consumption after establishing what is better for consumption local food or global. Primarily, the US government should encourage citizens to consume local food rather than global food as it promotes health, conservation of the environment, encourage friendly community relations and contributes to economic growth.Local food promotes the social and cultural values in society. Essentially, local food is better than global because it makes people be friendlier and make them work together It also helps people in the same community to maintain a robust social bonding through eating of typical local food. People develop a strong sense of belong when they eat the regular food grown in their locality. People in the same locality become and remain social because of meeting often in the local market. Glass, Emily. Health Benefits of Eating Local (2013) Ho 2 http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-food/health-benefits-of-eating-local/ In this article it is argued that eating of local food boosts the economy. This is because when the country produces gets a large number of crops more than the consumption of what they need they can sell these crops and increase the economy in the country. Also, the local food makes the country depend on themselves and not spend money on global food that could have high prices because they know that you need this food to live. Essentially, eating the local food gives an individual an opportunity to connect with the local people who produce on a small scale and a chance to discover more natural foods. Buying from the small-scale producer's helps them to produce more and build the economy. Individuals also get to save the cost of traveling to get food and invest the money in other areas of the economy.Additionally, eating local means that people do not have to travel long distances to get food. They need to get to the nearest joints and get their food. This reduces the carbon emission which is produced in the course of transporting foods. Mostly it is important to note that most of the environmental and health problems people are facing today are as a result of the modern agriculture practice. In this regard, the engagement with the local foods means that people are not only helping themselves but also promoting their health and environment. According to one green planet organization, most of the global goods are packaged with sugars and unhealthy fats which are not suitable for human health. Therefore getting of the local foods means people have access to more fresh foods. Eating of the local food is seen not only as the medicine for the body but also for the soul. In essence, by feeding the local food individuals can reconnect with their culture and good health. There is the view held that most of the local foods can cure some of the modern diseases. It also not only have the health benefits but also brings individuals to a closer connection with nature. Ho 3 Additionally, eating local reduces the food miles and emission. One gets a chance to support the local companies and their food travel short distance where environmentally people travel for short distances to get their food . One also got to show solidarity with the local food producers who do it on a small scale and an opportunity to eat more natural food.. In most cases, the food is picked directly from where it is found. It does not have to be subjected to artificial conditions before it reaches the consumer. Eating of the local foods means that one will be able to go according to the season patterns. One can follow the natural flow of diversity and discover new local varieties.It is imperative to acknowledge that eating more local food is becoming popular as more as it is being seen as healthy. It is becoming easy become the market of the local food is coming more close to the consumers. This means that consumers can access local food without much stress. Therefore, what or remaining for them is to buy and cook. There is a variety of them, and what is remaining now is just choosing their preferences. Given the health benefits and availability of the local food, then there is no need of eating global food. Koerner, Katie. “Are Preservatives in Food Bad for My Health?” Health.com, www.health.com/news/are-preservatives-bad-for-health. The author notes that there are many health benefits of eating local food. Local food is better than global food because it is healthier and have less amount of Preservatives. According to one green planet org "local food means that has higher nutrient levels which mean it has vitamins A, C, E, and some B.” It is grown locally, so it is fresh, natural and taste better. Furthermore, you can know where and they produced. Global food come from really far places, so they have to put a large number of Preservatives to keep all the product in good condition. Ho 4 Also, local food is helping the environment. For instance, if there is country need food from a rich country their crops will be shipped, so they are going to use a lot of carbon, and that is bad for the environment, so when you grow food locally you save the environment. It helps local families to live their life. For example, if people buy and use the global food, the local food families will be broke because they depend on selling the crops, so when you buy local food that will help them to pay the bills and keep their traditions of farming to continue. The families are also brought together by farming the same local foods as they exchange ideas on how to improve their farming. The consumption of local food has helped the families to live together because the health challenges have reduced. Some of the local food has medicinal value while others prevent one from being attacked by the sickness. Therefore, when family members are healthy, they can remain together and be economically productive. This has also helped to raise the standard of living for the families.
