Some people think that the government should increase tax on unhealthy food to encourage people to start eating healthy. Do you agree or disagree?

Recent years have seen, junk

food

has became

Suggestion

has become

more and more popular. Some believe that the

tax

on unhealthy

food

should be increased by

government

to encourage people to start eating healthy. In my view, I would agree with

this

idea for the following rationales. The

first

reason is the increasing of

tax

can increase the revenue of the

government

.

This

implies the

government

has more funds to build more infrastructures

such

as highway, railway and other forms of public facilities.

On the other hand

, the increasing of

tax

can

also

improve the social welfare policy like

healthy

Suggestion

health

insurance.

As a result

, our society can reap benefits. Another reason for increasing the

tax

of unhealthy

food

is that the consumers will be unwilling to make purchases on it. Since the reduction of having unhealthy

food

, the probability of catching diseases can be reduced. As a

people

Suggestion

person

become

Suggestion

becomes

more healthy, the fees of personal medical expense will decrease. It may be claimed that increasing

tax

on unhealthy

food

may make some particular companies hard

for

Suggestion

to

survive and it is unfair.

However

,

this

argument is unconvincing since these companies will be replaced by new ones which provide healthy

food

just like the normal business competition. One similar example of

this

can be seen in the industrial revolution. The invention of cars replaced the horses. It had been recorded as an important innovation

of

Suggestion

in

human history. All things considered, the

government

should increase

tax

on unhealthy

food

. It can increase the revenue of the

government

.

In addition

, the fees of

personally

Suggestion

personal

medical expense

also

be reduced. So that both individuals and society can be benefited.
