In some countries an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems as a result of eating too much fast food. It is therefore necessary for governments to impose a higher tax on this kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion ?

Fast

food

joints had a massive expansion in recent years and

hence

, in a few nations, a huge amount of humans has encountered physical fitness issues by consuming more

junk

food

. Should higher authorities levy more taxes on

such

types of eating items?

This

essay disagrees that governments should tax

this

kind of

food

.

Firstly

,

this

essay will discuss how it will impact only a certain income group and

secondly

, it will discuss other alternatives to reduce intake of

junk

food

.

To begin

with, increasing tariffs will not affect individuals who belong to the upper class and can afford

such

edible items.

Although

, a difference might be seen in lower and middle class people who consume

junk

food

. That means increasing the tax on fast

food

will have only a marginal effect on its consumption.

For example

, the average income category of people might not take their families to fast

food

restaurants.

On the other hand

, the government should think of creating awareness about the ill-effects of

junk

food

. If people are educated about the harmful effects of consuming

this

variety of

food

frequently, there is a bright possibility of them adopting a healthier lifestyle.

For instance

, many individuals follow what is shown in advertisements and broadcasting videos of fitness problems caused by eating fast

food

will surely direct them towards a balanced diet. To conclude, government increasing taxes on

junk

food

will not give the desired results and that will be specific to selected groups of individuals. While, raising awareness of health concerns, will keep a lasting impression on an individual’s mind.
