The issue of obesity is a serious health concern, especially for youngsters, as they are more exposed to a wide variety of ready-made meals. Regarding question whether increasing the cost of
such
Linking Words
 foods will restrict people from buying, I completely disagree because prices do not seem to be the only encouraging factor as we shall see.
To begin
Linking Words
 with, higher costs of junk food does not necessarily mean that people will not buy it, to satisfy their cravings.
This
Linking Words
 means that people who are habitual will continue
this
Linking Words
 pattern, despite the expensive prices of
such
Linking Words
 foods.
For example
Linking Words
, fast food chains
such
Linking Words
 as KFC, target children in their advertisement
such
Linking Words
 as happy meals, force parents to fulfil the wishes of their loved ones. A better solution would be to improve the overall quality of
such
Linking Words
 products by limiting the amount of preservatives and no compromise on the harmful ingredients they use.
This
Linking Words
 will not only helpful for people, but
also
Linking Words
 reduce the burden of healthcare facilities.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, the other major reason for the excessive consumption of fast food is the hectic schedules of people, as they are not able to spare time to cook for themselves. In
such
Linking Words
 situations, higher prices will only affect their income rather than their usage of
such
Linking Words
 foods.
For instance
Linking Words
, in Pakistan, working parents often opt for pre-cooked meals, rather than having a maid to cook for them and their children, because
this
Linking Words
 would be a more expensive option than buying junk foods.
This
Linking Words
 can be resolved only by providing awareness of the negative effects of
such
Linking Words
 products, and allow more home-based tools
such
Linking Words
 as rice-makers to ease the process of preparing meals. In conclusion, it is logical to accept that higher prices will restrict people’s access to fast foods.
However
Linking Words
, reforming the strategies for cooking at commercial outlets and subsidizing home-based cooking tools would appear to be much more effective to overcome
this
Linking Words
 issue.
