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

Approaching health issues in some countries, it’s common to
trait
something considered choice to eat
treat
 it with excessive junk
food
 consumed by
society
. Some people thought that by increasing
tax
Suggestion
taxes
 on those foods they would be able to deal with the issue. I disagree that
this
 is the best way to solve the
problem
.
Firstly
, increasing the
tax
 on fast
food
 wouldn’t stop
society
 from consuming it. For those people who afford to buy, they will just consume them as usual with no big deal. But, for those who can’t really afford it, they would just run into other substitutes, which has no difference from consuming fast
food
 (Instance of consuming canned
food
, frozen
food
,
etc
continuing in the same way
etc.
). The major health
problem
will keep
Suggestion
will be keeping
 sticking in the country. Even worse, the cause of the
problem
 can be added by excessive substitute
food
 eaten by
society
.
That is
 exactly not the result hoped
by
Suggestion
from
 countries dealing with
this
 kind of situation. Another thing to consider is that the higher
tax
 could be an extra burden for
society
. They could not freely enjoy the
food
 as usual. Even for
food
, they would need to struggle more, there’s no prosperity among
society
. While welfare is everything that
society
 needs and what every country is reaching for.
In addition
, people have their own reasons and situations why they choose to consume fast
food
 than other consumables. They have the right to consume what they want, it would be unfair for those lower middle class to deal with the changes. In conclusion, increasing
tax
 on fast
food
 would cause another similar
problem
 to the country and even worse, it could mentally hit the people
by
Suggestion
with
 the extra burden carried by them and prosperity-
laking
inadequate in amount or degree
lacking
 among people.
