"Such problems suggest that street food will fade in importance as the world becomes more affluent: the unsanitary brown stalls in Manila will be replaced by clean, brightly colored enterprises hearing the globally recognizable logos of McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Starbucks, and Yoshinoya."

While this article is about the importance and relevance of street vendors, here they point out that the appeal and marketing of fast-food will run out the local foods. It's interesting how small differences in advertising, location, word-of-mouth, and aesthetics will make or break a business. It's sad to me that the local businesses are suffering due to cheap, processed food. I think it might be interesting to do further research on the marketing of foods/ food businesses, and it might also be interesting to research why people still hang on so tightly to their traditions when it comes to food.
