The statement that your body is what you eat, is well accepted by intellectuals as health issues are at their peak because of unhealthy diet taken by people in many nations.
This
has given a rise to an idea of levying a hefty impost on unhealthy eatables. I hold a different opinion regarding
this
notion because junk
food
has its own advantages, those cannot be neglected, especially in terms of time-saving, variations and employment generation. Upcoming paragraphs will support my view with related examples.
First
and foremost reason is a fast lifestyle that has become a need of the hour. One has to cut short the time on these activities in order to earn more and more and if the prices of foodstuff have been increased because of tax,
then
it will increase the burden on pocket of common people.
Moreover
, some individuals live far away from
families, so it becomes impossible for them to cook at home on regularly,
hence
they completely depend upon available eatables.
For example
, students do not find time cook for
need ready-made as they are required to concentrate on their studies and career. Talking about their health, it is suggested that a check should be made by the authorities on the quality of the
food
as well as the ingredients used by vendors to cook it.
Secondly
, it is very difficult to control one's cravings, as it adds a variation to the daily traditional
food
. There are wide options available in the market which are temptations and sumptuous, so a glutton cannot refuse to take them.
For example
,
may not like eating vegetables and bread, but the same can be transformed into a burger or sandwich,
that is
enjoyed by them whole heartedly. So variety and taste force them to eat vegetables too.
Last
but not the least is the generation of employment
that is
boosted by
this
profession.
Many chefs and cooks who possess a talent to modify simple and boring
food
into easily available, tasty dish, depend upon
this
profession. In case of higher duty the prices will hike and that
their business and career. Again the government and
Food
Corporation of the province can interfere here by awarding and grading
food
items which are healthier. It should
also
educate and motivate consumers to eat non-fried and fibrous material,
this
in turn may force sellers to sell the healthy version.
For instance
, fried burger can be replaced by the baked one, healthy vegetables can be added
it and wheat or
flour can be used to bake bread.
In conclusion, levying a heavy duty on fast
food
is not the end solution of unhealthy lifestyle. New healthy versions can be adopted to make it healthy and acceptable world-wide.
