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?

It's noticeable that excessive consumption of convenience

food

such

as burger, pizza, French fries or soft drink could result in many health problems. To solve

this

problem, some countries proposed to increase the

tax

for these kinds of

food

.

However

, personally, I think

this

solution may not solve the problem completely, even possibly cause some negative effects on consumers. Imposing a higher

tax

on

junk

food

could be ineffective in preventing consumers, especially who have high income, from eating

this

kind of

food

because they put convenience on a higher priority than health in today's busy life. While, lower-income families will have to shoulder the burdens of

junk

food

enhancement because organic or fresh foods have a pretty high price and consume much time for cooking.

As a result

, they must find other kinds of

food

which are

also

convenient, quickly prepared but lower price. That means, quality of

food

they consume will reduce and consumers may suffer from more serious diseases.

Additionally

, because of convenience

food

tax

increment, some

food

manufactures might find other ways to reduce budgets for producing processed foods like using low-quality ingredients and consumer will suffer from the consequences of

this

.

Instead

of increasing taxes for unhealthy foods, investing to improve the quality of fast

food

and make healthy

food

more affordable and convenient might be the better solution for governments. For fast

food

, it will be healthier for consumers if harmful ingredients are removed from

food

processing. Spending more money on developing modern machines, which make healthy

food

processing quicker and cost less, could enlarge consumption of organic foods.

Besides

, the government should promote education for citizens to have healthy lifestyles as well as awareness of consequences of eating

junk

food

or microwaveable foods frequently. In conclusion, to reduce unhealthy foodstuff consumption, promote a healthy lifestyle and cultivate meal quality as well as

food

processing manufactures are better solutions than

junk

Suggestion

a junk food tax increment
