Some people think that the government should put a tax on unhealthy food to encourage people to eat more healthily. Do you agree or disagree?

Over the past several decades, governments have been proposing to implement higher taxes on unhealthy

food

items. While some believe that it is a negative development, I personally believe that it will have a positive impact on the

country

for two main reasons. The

first

reason for implementing taxes is to reduce the pressure on public

health

care. While I agree that fast foods are easily available, i

I

elieve that increasing taxes on it will make difficult for people to buy it.Individuals who have unhealthy

food

habits, usually suffer from many

health

problems, which can be treated mainly in hospitals.

As a result

, the already failing public

health

services is more burdened. Countries need to spend more to construct hospitals and educate new doctors and nurses. As the saying goes, precaution is better than cure,

similarly

implementing taxes on processed and sugary foods would make it difficult for many people purchasing it.

This

brings me to my

second

reason, which is to control the mortality rate of a

country

. Individuals are the most important asset for any

country

. Less population means less people to develop and protect the

country

. I

however

believe that the continuous consumption of unhealthy foods like doughnuts, cold drinks and process

food

causes individuals to die early compared to the normal life span within a

country

. Any each death causes the

country

to lose unique skill, knowledge and

finally

income. Not implementing taxes will cause more suffering to the

country

and individuals will

also

get affected. In conclusion, not only will implementing taxes help to reduce the pressure on the public

Therefore

,

although

I agree that processed

food

is cheap to buy, I believe that countries should implement additional taxes on unhealthy

food

products to protect its own citizens and residents.
