 Prons and Cons of
Globalization of Cuisine

 Homogenization has led to a “world culture”.
through technology the world has become a smaller
place, access to other cultures is easy. It can be
argued that this will lead to greater acceptance of
other cultures.
 Homogenizing food has led to food standards of
taste and quality. Cheap, hygienic foods are now
available world wide.
 
 People can rely on restaurants to
have the same taste and cost in
different locations.
 The expansion of the past food
industry through globalization has
created innumerable job opportunities
to unskilled, uneducated workers
 
Developing countries now have a place in the
global economy.
Nations are losing their uniqueness.
Though cheap and clean, food has lost
nutritional values. People no longer have the
access to fresh fruits and veggies that they
once had, leading them to substitute these
with non nutritional, cheap alternatives.
 
With so many outlets relying on the same
sources for food, if any one source becomes
contaminated, millions of people may
become sick or die.
Small scale farmers suffer economically.
Environmental impacts: from making the
space for mega-farms to the tons of waste
created from fast-food restaurants.
