MIRZA SÁNCHEZ ALCALÁ: Food is definitely a "thing"
So far what we have learn in this curse is in
fact our “everyday basis” and everything that surround us and that have an
important impact in our lives, our country and definitely in our world.
I would like to talk about food globalization
because even thou is not the most important issue right now or it could
possibly look like is no a “thing” it is definitely changing something and
today it has become a very controversial issue.
Fast food essentially involves the quick and
lo-cost preparation of “uniform” food and includes hamburgers, fries, pizza and
of course ice creams.
Globalization has both positive and negative
effects on the world, I think one of the positive effects include that companies
can outsource their foods all over the world.
Recently, fast food has gained much public
attention after coming under heavy criticism for lacking in quality and
nutritional value, causing environmental damage, exploiting cheap labour and
contributing to growing obesity rates, particularly of children. In response to
worldwide concerns over nutritional value and childhood obesity, fast food
chains such as Subway which not only promote cheap and easy food but also
health conscious meals, have experienced growth on an international scale.
So that´s why I think that with all these
American and European restaurants in my country, or any other, are ok and it is
natural that we start to change some ingredients in our daily cooking or try to
improve the American food or any food when we cook it in our own home, I mean,
it´s part of the globalization thing, not everything is bad, the way I see it
we can learn from other countries by their food and they can learn about us as
well
My opinion of this situation is that it will be
positive as long as we still keep our own traditions. I think it is good not
everybody has the opportunity to taste international cooking and have this
experience.
