For decades, people are dying because of poor eating habits.
Although

, some people think if authorities increase tax will solve the problem, I tend to disagree with
this

perspective because it will not make people change their habits.
Moreover
Linking Words
, people need to learn more about good eating habits to make people concerned about their
health

.
First
Linking Words
of all, the
government
Use synonyms
has to provide information about the damage which
junk

food

can make in our population. Most of the people know some information about the damage that bad eating habits can make, but I strongly believe that it is just superficial and the
government
Use synonyms
needs to work more on that, and
also
Linking Words
provide knowledge about

and how people can change the eating habits to have a better quality of life. I strongly believe that neither if the
government

increase the

tax, people will not let to buy. When a person makes a habit it is hard to take off, it does not matter the

and neither the difficulty to buy, people will find a way to buy either if they do not have the money.
Moreover

,
this

maybe will just make the population angry with the

making protest on the internet against the higher

of the products.
For instance

, people need to be concern about

and what they eat.
For example

, if I say to my wife that she cannot eat
junk

food
Use synonyms
because of the higher
price
Use synonyms
, she will not listen to me because
this

is not a reason to not buy. But if I say for her that she cannot buy

food
Use synonyms
because

. To conclude, increase
junk

tax will not solve the problem and what we need is to make people be concern about their life and their
health

.
However

, it is very difficult to change people mind and the
government

needs to work with a good base of knowledge to provide for people.
