First of all i think the writer does not imply globalization to be good, he was just mentioning it of reaching Nepal. Also, glocalize (or glocalization) is not a word the writer created, he just wanted people who did not know what it meant (including you) to realize how it came into term. And, the main reason for the article as far as i perceive is not to give the writers point of view, but being journalistically neutral he would have just liked to have made the people think whether such institutions are good or bad.
As far as i know, fast food chains, when exporting chicken to global chains dont send the live chicken, they tend to send already processed meat. And as far as bird flu, global fast food chains have comparatively much higher standards and you might sound paranoid, when you mention the threat of bird flu.
"for eating-out is still in a nascent culture here" it just means people are just beginning to eat out more often. i dont know how did you come up with the thought that, the writer was promoting eating out?
I think you are just being paranoid most of the time regarding how you analyze. Globalization has its own pros and cons, however i think Nepal has not yet achieved the sense of globalisation yet to figure out if it does more bad than good.
