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?

Health

issues like obesity, hypertension and diabetes are occurring in ever-growing population of people in certain countries due to excessive consumption of fast

food

. It is widely discussed whether the government should levy a higher tax on junk

food

to tackle

this

problem. In my opinion

this

action may lead to fast

food

consumption mitigation,

nonetheless

it may not deter a large group of affluent citizens from eating unhealthy on a daily basis and other solutions should be implemented. On the one hand, implementing higher tax may make fast

food

unaffordable

to lower class people and discourage them from eating it which in result may force them to cook proper meals at home.

actually may improve their

health

and contributes to developing wholesome diet habits.

, teenagers would not be able to buy a burger due to its high price and in consequence would choose to prepare its healthier replacement at home, which can reduce the risk of various

health

problems in the future.

On the other hand

, higher taxes may not be an obstacle to prosperous citizens because they may not pay much attention to the cost, the availability of a hot meal and quick reduction of hunger would be much more essential aspect. Undoubtedly, people are leaving a busy pace of life these days,

thus

they often ignore to eat healthy and regularly.

Therefore they

Therefore, they

are depending on takeaway fast foods for their daily livelihood, which may be the reason of

health

issues like obesity.

For example

, imposing the extra hour during the day to prepare a meal for the employees can be a proper solution to change the harmful habits.

Moreover

, the government should facilitate the access to healthy products by making them more affordable and accessible. In combination with proper education people would be more likely to choose healthful meals which may result in stronger population. In conclusion,

although

taxation policy is a good approach, the government needs to ingrate it with other methods like education and effortless access to healthy goods to achieve the best results in public

improvement.
