Many pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses are unknown. Food contamination can occur at any stage from farm to plate. Since most cases of food poisoning go unreported, the true extent of global foodborne illnesses is unknown. Improvements in international monitoring have led to greater public awareness, yet the rapid globalization of food production increases consumers' vulnerability by making food harder to regulate and trace. "We have the world on our plates", says an official of WHO. Which of the following is the most logical corollary to the above passage?
With more options for food come more risks.
Food processing is the source of all foodborne illnesses.
We should depend on locally produced food only.
Globalization of food production should be curtailed.
The passage primarily discusses two topics: food poisoning and the globalization of food production. It states that "globalization of food production increases consumers' vulnerability as food production becomes harder to regulate and trace." This strongly suggests that Option (a) is the most appropriate choice. Option (b) and (c) are clearly inaccurate as they are not mentioned in the passage. Option (d) can be dismissed because while the passage criticizes the globalization of food production, it does not explicitly advocate for curtailing globalization. Even the WHO statement mentioned in the passage doesn't suggest "curtailment"; it simply describes the characteristics of contemporary food.
