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?

In most countries, eating fast

food

is common nowadays. Eating too much of

this

type

of

food

can affect people’s

health

badly. Governments can help to stop

this

by imposing higher prices on these foods. I tend to disagree with

this

statement because I believe it is a personal choice. To start with, it is easy to disagree with

this

view for several reasons.

First

of all, people choose what they want to eat and what they do not want to eat. Eating healthy

food

can be easy if people really want to do it.

For instance

, if someone works Monday-Friday, from 9 am to 6 pm, just having 1hr for lunch they can bring their lunch to work. They can cook their own

food

at home on the weekend, saving it in the fridge for the whole week.

This

is cheaper than buying fast

food

every day and more convenient. If it is difficult to cook at home, another option could be to buy healthy

food

at restaurants that serve salads, meats and sandwiches. In

this

way, they are caring for their

health

, not choosing to eat junk

food

every day. It is important to mention that exercise contributes to being healthy.

On the other hand

, governments can impose higher taxes on

this

kind of

food

, but people will continue eating it. People who love to eat

this

type

of

food

will buy it no matter its price. Maybe, imposing higher taxes can encourage people to eat less,

however

,

this

will not stop everyone, especially those who love fast

food

. Overall, eating junk

food

decreases the

health

of the population. Governments can impose higher prices on

this

type

of

food but

Accept comma addition

food, but

it can not obligate people to stop eating

this

. People should care for their

health

, deciding not to eat

this

type

of

food but

Accept comma addition

food, but

if they decide to eat junk

food

, the government has no right to make them stop.
