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.

Nowadays, the number of people suffering from

health

problems related to the overconsumption fast

food

is constantly increasing,

that is

why many people argue that the government should impose a higher tax on

this

kind of

food

. Personally

,

I agree with

this

opinion for the following reasons;

Firstly

, the quality of

food

we eat has a direct impact on our well-being, our body cannot function well if we don't give it the good quality of nutrients it needs. As we know junk

food

is very low quality and rich in fat and sugar which are harmful to our wellbeing,

as a result

, people suffer from high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes,

otherwise

Secondly

, the pace of increase in diseases related to poor diet cost the authority a lot,

for example

,

the investment in infrastructures like hospitals and other equipment’s, and medicines need an important budget, we know that sickness like cancer and diabetes need special attention. In many countries the government take in charge of minimum 70 % of the total fees, at Least

tax could contribute for

purposes,

also

it can help with financing awareness strength campaign to make people more aware about their healthcare.

Finally

, the consumption of fast foods makes people sick which affects the economy as a whole.

In other words

, when an employee is ill, he probably can’t focus 100% on his work because he needs time to heal. With

this

high rate of absences, he is no longer efficient, so his productivity is low.

For instance

, a company with a certain number of unhealthy employees would be impacted

firstly

in its turnover and

secondly

in its financial situation because of the high burden of

insurances supported. To conclude, I think that according to its dangers on

, junk

food

should be taxed at the same rate as alcohol and tobacco to dissuade the investment in
