Government should put taxes on unhealthy food so that people eat healthy food. Do you agree or disagree?

Less nutrition meal can cause many health problems. One of the ways to solve is by imposing high taxes on junk

foodstuff

, which I totally agree on

this

. While there are many ways to solve

this

like education, the

government

could make

this

foodstuff

less attractive to others, and people will more likely to choose

foodstuff

that with better nutritional value.

First

of all, when the authority adjusts taxes to the unhealthy

foodstuff

, the company will pass on the extra cost to the consumer that would raise the price. As the price increases,

this

makes the junk snack and

drink

far less attractive than buying food with high nutrition.

For example

, by enforcing high taxes on sugary

drink

, some parents would not want to buy it when they have cheaper options like fresh juice.

Therefore

, these families will start to adapt to nutritious

foodstuff

when they start to switch to cheaper options. So the

government

will very likely to help to reduce those less value foods. 

However

,

conversely

, the

government

could educate public on the possible consequences when we are eating unhealthily

besides

imposing taxes. The

government

's educational council could integrate in the information into the curriculum.

For example

, in my kindergarten, teachers are teaching small kids on how to avoid diabetes by avoiding sugary

drink

. Whereby, as

this

small kids are constantly flooded with video which showing sugary

drink

is bad for them, they would choose better food if they had started to learn

this

since they are young. To conclude, there are several ways to curb the issues, one of them is forcing the company to increase the cost of production, and constantly informing the public is

also

another important factor. If both of the suggestions are implemented properly, I could foresee more people will start making a better choice.
