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?

In these days, most of
people's health issues
Suggestion
the people's health issues
come from consuming too much unhealthy junk
food
;
as a result
, the
government
is considering to
rise
raise the level or amount of something
raise
the
tax
on it to discourage people from eating
such
food
. According to my perspective,
this
government
role cannot serve the whole problem and it will affect to only groups of people. Imposing a
higer
advanced in complexity or elaboration
higher
huge
tax
on fast
food
may reduce the number of patients
from

obesity, diabetes, and heart disease resulting from being
overweighted

overweight
.
However
, as we know that pre-prepared
food
is cheap and convenient;
therefore
,
higer price
Suggestion
the higher price
higher price
of fast
food
obviously creates drawback to the low-incomed
labor
a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages
labour
.
For example
, it is not only forcing them to buy more expensive
food
, but
also
sometimes imposing them to prepare the
food
themselves
instead
, which is the wasting of time and less comfort.
Moreover
,
this
government
measure will definitely not work at all for those who is wealthy or do not have any financial issues that they are going to continue purchasing
this
expensive unhealthy
food
.
On the other hand
, the
government
role on only increasing
tax
cannot develop public's health and make them become stronger. Eating less junk
food
can only prevent people from
overweighting
excessive heating
overheating
overeating
due to its high contained saturated fat sugar and salt.
Thus
, to reduce the nation's health condition, the
government
should launch other measures to promote healthier lifestyle as well.
For instance
, providing the unpaid exercise equipment in the public areas and cutting off the
tax
on healthy
food
such
as fresh fruits and vegetables. In conclusion, despite of taxing fast
food
, in my opinion, it does not enough and
also
undergoes some groups of people.
Hence
, in order to reduce the number of ill people, other measuring steps should be used along with it.
