Scientists agree that people are damaging their health by eating too much junk food. Some people think that the answer to this problem is to educate people. Others think education will not work. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is widely acknowledged that excessive consumption of junk

food

is resulting in damaging people’s health. While some people consider

education

to be a measure to tackle

this

problem, others disagree with

this

scheme. Personally, I believe that

signing. There are various reasons why a lot of citizens doubted the effectiveness of

education

.

To begin

with, despite noticing the severe consequences of eating unhealthy

food

, a majority of busy workers still choose it because of the convenience and cheap price. People who are actively engaged to tight schedules do not have enough time for a proper meal, yet they have to end up picking fast

food

.

This

means that

education

can hardly make a difference as the employees have had their choices. Another argument is that there is a wide range of other effective solutions rather than

education

, including government imposes. As consumers tend to compare the products’ price before buying, authorities could impose a higher tax on junk

food

to alter customers’ shopping behaviours.

Therefore

,

will encourage people to buy fresh, nutritious

food

and cook balanced meal at home.

On the contrary

, it is perhaps even more important to educate people about processed

food

consumption for several reasons. Those who insist on

assert that raising health awareness through

eating habits.

For example

, the farm-to-school program has been successfully applied to America school’s curricular which motivate students to increase knowledge about nutrition and be more willing to try new foods, especially fruits and vegetables. From what has been discussed, it is clear that solutions for the over-consumption of junk

food

cause a great deal of controversy.

Nevertheless

, I would strongly argue that educational actions could remarkably mitigate

this

issue.
