Globalisation and food
Globalisation of import food might be one of positive side from considering the large range of choice in my country. It seems as if we are in another countries without travelling. Some people believe that "fast food chains" typify the globalisation of food in Japan. For example, McDonald's, KFC, SUBWAY, Wendy's, Quiznos Sub and Burger King, also these are mainly from American companies. Although, if we go to a big city we could eat more diverse kinds of fast foods such as Indian, Mexican and so on. When I was a child, the fast food chains had been already coming in and taking root in our lifestyle, so I sometimes ate such as a burger. But my grandparents generation might not imagine to be changed from traditional food style to the other countries styles.
On the other hand, Japanese has also popular and traditional fast food, it is sushi. It is famous among not only Japanese but also another countries people. People think that such as burgers are generally unhealthy, but sushi is healthy food, so it may have gained acceptance even the other countries. In negative aspects, young people's taste has changed and they prefer western fast foods rather than traditional foods. It might be hard for Japanese food industry. Futhermore, older people are apprehensive that younger people might be effected life-style related disease by western fast foods. Nowadays, we can get the large range of foods choice, therefore whether or not you agree with globalisation the choice is yours.
