Although food is relatively cheap in the United States, Americans pay a high price―with many hidden costs. A person can find American raspberries on sale in Britain at cheaper prices than those charged for British-grown raspberries. Some retailers prefer suppliers who can provide a year-round flow of produce, rather than switch to local raspberry producers who can only supply berries during one season.
Furthermore, because fuel costs are relatively low, big supermarkets can get a better deal from countries where wages are low. Thus, for a few cents of savings at the supermarket, local rural economies are weakened.

- A . Local food often tastes better.
- B . Local food becomes poor in quality.
- C . Name-brand food is less dependable.
