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?

One question that has caused a great deal of controversy over the years is whether the

government

should impose higher taxes on fast

food

since there is a growing number of citizens enduring

health

repercussions from the excessive consumption of fast

food

. In my opinion,

although

it is essential for the

government

to impose higher taxes on fast

food

, there are

also

alternative measures which the

government

could act. On the one hand, it is clear that imposing higher taxes on fast

food

is effective in preventing fatal

health

diseases.

Firstly

, since fast

food

could result in fatal

health

diseases that affect public

health

, the

government

has the responsibility to intervene in the fast

food

industry. In fact, the coronary heart diseases, which result from high sugar-based

food

, take as much as 500,000 individuals lives each year, which would mean a reduction in

for the nation's development.

Secondly

, by imposing higher taxes, many people, especially those who are under-privileged, may find fast

food

unaffordable

impossible to avoid or evade

unavoidable

and

thus

would refrain from

purcharsing

the act of buying

fast

food

and start preparing meals at home

On the other hand

,

although

imposing higher taxes could be beneficial, there are

certainly

Suggestion

certain

methods that are as effective in order to reduce

health

problems resulting from fast

food

.

Firstly

, the

government

should raise the public

awereness

having knowledge of

awareness

of how fast

food

could have detrimental effects on our body.

This

could be done by producing informative TV programs and incorporating courses on home-cooking in school curriculum to not only provide alternative healthy options but

also

teach children how to ensure a healthy diet. In that way, the

government

could still reduce the consumption of fast

food

while maintaining a sustainable

food

source for the under-privileged.

Secondly

, the

government

could enact laws that fast

food

manufacturers must involve healthy ingredients,

such

as vegetables,

in

the process of producing fast

food

.

As a result

, a balanced diet is acquired and a healthy lifestyle is maintained by the citizens. In conclusion, the act of imposing higher taxes by the authorities could somewhat reduce the detrimental impact of fast

food

to the public

health

such

as

However

, in my opinion, there are superior measures which the

government

could take

such

as raising

awereness

having knowledge of

awareness

or enacting strict laws on fast

food

.
