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 government to impose a higher tax on this kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.

In

this

contemporary era, the world is changing by leaps and bounds. Nowadays, people eat more fast

food

than the traditional

food

. So, some people believe that it is laymen choice of what to eat or not, whereas the others argue that the government should levy higher taxes on

this

type of

food

. I totally agree with the latter view. It has more pros outweigh cons.

First

and foremost, the eating habits of people have changed dramatically in

last

10 years. It is undeniable that many citizens suffering from health problems due to excessive consumption of junk

food

.

This

food

, not only contains high fat, but

also

it contains sugar, which is a root cause of obesity and because of

this

human body suffers with other health related diseases

such

as diabetes.

Also

, these ingredients are more harmful for human body.

In addition

to the above, the best way to get rid of

this

food

is to impose higher tax. In most countries, middle income people eat

this

food

rapidly, owing to

this

if the state imposes higher taxes on

such

items,

then

the financial burden of laymen increases, because of

this

they will think twice before buying

such

products.

Moreover

, the government will run some awareness campaigns to aware people about the consequences of consuming junk

food

. To conclude, banning these

food

items is the best way to stop it, but government cannot do

this

. So, levy some taxes on

such

products, not only halt citizens, but

also

this

is a good way to support the economy of the country as well.
