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 extend do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Nowadays, in some nations around the world, the number of people who suffer from health issues because of eating an excessive amount of them are increasing.
Therefore
, it is believed that the government should increase the
tax
on
this
kind of
food
. I completely disagree with
this
point of view and the reasons will be covered in
this
essay.
First
of all, I believe that fast
food
is not the only factor that leads to health problems. There are many other elements causing different diseases
such
as lack of sleep, smoking, drinking alcohol and along with other factors.
For example
, the cause of obesity is not only eating too much fast
food but
Accept comma addition
food, but
also
lack of exercise and heredity factors.
Thus
, if the authorities impose a higher
tax
on fast
food
, it won’t reduce too much the number of sick people.
Additionally
, fast
food
is very cheap, convenient and time-saving. For busy people, it is a good choice to help them have
energy
Suggestion
the energy
to continue their work in break time. There are
also
has a wide range of fast
food
for people to choose
such
as snack, hot dog, hamburger, popcorn and along with many other types of fast
food
.
Moreover
, if the
tax
on fast
food
is imposed higher, it will be unfair to people who has
low income
Suggestion
a low income
. In conclusion,
although
fast
food
has some disadvantages
such
as having too much sugar and fat or waste of money, I believe that these advantages outweigh the drawbacks. I
also
strongly recommend that the government should raise the awareness of residents about health
instead
of imposing a higher
tax
on fast
food
.
