【让步+反驳】
1. Admittedly, it is justifiable for some to oppose such a trend for various reasons, among which the most significant one is that this may to some extent hazard our health.
* 弊端：可能对身体有害（这点可以从题干的in season当季食品出发，联想现实生活中的常见话题）
2. This is mainly because some chemicals and preservatives will be added into the imported products for the purpose of guaranteeing their freshness and mouthfeel after the long-distance travel.
* 具体说明：为了保证经过长途运输，食品还能保持新鲜，会添加化学品和防腐剂。
3. Those additives are likely to exert a negative impact on our health.
* 添加剂可能会影响健康。
4. However, such a reason in effect can hold no water.
* 进一步解释：多房征税对缓解住房短缺问题的效果。
5. The quality is ensured, as regulations on those internationally produced products are so strict that only the qualified ones can end up on the market.
* 反驳：食品质量会经过严格管控，对人体有害的食物进不了市场
6. Besides, we now have sundry preservation techniques to cope with the possible losses during long-distance delivery.
* 现有的其他科技可以解决保鲜问题
