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 the people's health issues come from consuming too much unhealthy junk
food
; as a result
, the government
is considering to rise
the raise the level or amount of something
raise
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 higher tax
on fast food
may reduce the number of patients with obesity, diabetes, and heart disease resulting from being overweighted
. usually describes a large person who is fat but has a large frame to carry it
overweight
However
, as we know that pre-prepared food
is cheap and convenient; therefore
, the higher price of fast food
obviously creates drawback to the low-incomed 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
due to its high contained saturated fat sugar and salt. excessive heating
overheating
overeating
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.Submitted by fahhnicharee on
