this

fast-paced era with a changing lifestyle,

food

habits are

also

changing. Nowadays, a significant number of people are suffering from severe health issues due to their addiction to junk snacks. Some people say that the

government

should apply a high percentage of tax on

such

meal items to make it difficult to afford. In my opinion,

this

a wrong approach and

this

will deter only the middle and lower-income groups. On the one hand, Increasing wrong diet choices is leading people towards deadly diseases like obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and autoimmune diseases

such

as thyroid and PCOS. Imposing high taxes will impacts the middle-class people, industries, and vendors, in consequence, the decline in the economy and obstacles in economic growth.

However

, to stop

this

devastating trend of

food

, rather than imposing high tax amount, the

government

should ban some harmful ingredient which is used almost in all junk dishes, to make these less dangerous eatables.

For instance

, Ajinomoto, in 1997, after doing qualitative research, scientists of the USA proved that Ajinomoto, which used in all street

food

items, is a slow poison and cancer-causing.

On the other hand

, people become addicted to unhealthy mouthwatering cousins even though they know its harmful for their health. So imposing taxes would not stop them from buying

such

food

. They may find an alternative to it. High civil authorities should use a systematic and effective approach to encourage people to eat a healthy and balanced diet as well as to do exercises.

For example

, In May 2020, the

government

of India declared a lockdown in the whole country to lower the cases of COVID-19. During

this

period, people who were addicted to outside

food

started cooking

such

food

at home using a high amount of refined oil, Ajinomoto, soy sauce, etc. and the obesity rate is increased by 15%.

Besides

this

, the

government

should take help of health programs, free yoga classes along with some speeches of eminent dietitians like

Dr.

Change the punctuation

show examples

Gagan Sidhu to motivate people for nutritious meal choices. To Conclude, the increasing tax will affect only the middle and lower-income groups. If the

government

wants to decrease the consumption of unhealthy

food

they should find some healthier alternatives at the lower and affordable prices as well as motivate the individuals to change eating habits.
