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 extend do you agree or disagree with this opinion.

During the

last

decade an increasingly larger percentage of people suffer from health problems caused by consuming meals in fast foods. Why do fast foods have gained so much success and how can

this

be frighted? Fast foods have gained a very high popularity in the

last

decades principally because of the cheapness of their products: you are able to have a complete meal by spending just a few dollars.
