It
Suggestion
It's
 thought by some that it is the responsibility of those in in authority to reduce the intake of sugary
food
 by individuals, while others are of the view that individuals should be in control of their
sugar
 intake. In my opinion, I consider that the government should increase the taxes paid by sugary
food
 industry in order to curtail
this
 behaviour.
This
 essay would discuss both opinions, and provide a logical conclusion. On the one hand, some people think that the government should impose a higher tariff on sugary
food
, and I agree with them. If
this
 is done, the prices on sugary substances will be increased by the manufacturers, or sellers of these products,
thus
, making it expensive for individuals to purchase. Because of the expensive nature of
food
 containing
sugar
, individuals will be forced to abstain from it,
therefore
, making them limit their
sugar
 consumption. As an illustration,
as a result
 of the higher tariff paid by alcohol sellers in the UK,
this
 lead to an increase in the price of alcohol, and there has been a drastic reduction in the consumption of alcohol by the individuals
resident
Suggestion
residing
 in
UK
Suggestion
the UK
.
This
 is according to the report released by Bloomberg in 2015.
On the other hand
, it is believed by some people that individuals are in the best position to control their
sugar
 intake.
This
 is because they know their health status better, and can limit it when they are aware that their blood
sugar
 level has increased.
However
, I disagree with
this
 view, as not all individuals actually go for checkup to ascertain their blood
sugar
 level, and
this
 exposes them to health risk. In conclusion, while people may vary in their opinion, I believe that those in authority are in the best place to help limit individual's
sugar
 consumption by imposing
higher tariff
Suggestion
higher tariffs
a higher tariff
 on
food
 containing
sugar
.
