Globalization

The word Globalization is used to describe the increasing competition and cooperation between countries and societies across the world. Also it connects with trade, communication technology, travel, sciences, medicine, culture and food.

For the purposes of this issue I have chosen to focus on the spread of different ethnic foods. In Ukraine a traditional meal consisted of duck, local noodles and fresh salads. Over the past 10 years there has been a major change in eating habits. Now there are many different ethic restaurants, serving a huge variety of food that was not available in the past.

The influence from other countries is not just in the food served but also in preparation of food. Many chefs now come from the country where from the food style originated so the standards have improved. Now is much greater choice and quality.

Globalization in food is most widely with the spread of the giant junk food franchises and is not always positive for the health and cultural tradition.

In conclusion, the above information illustrates on the change in world eating habit and choices.
