it is becoming quite easier to eat healthy due to the options for vegetarians and vegans.
Second
 of all, one of the causes for the large number of people eating fattening

 is the
culture
, there are different cultures in every place of the world and I believe that some places are more used to eating unhealthy
food
 because it is common to have them in every restaurant and it is rooted in their
culture
. Take as an example the Indians, most of them are vegetarians due to their religion and
culture
. That being said, I think that there are other ways to reduce obesity. In conclusion, I do not think that increasing price of unhealthy
food
 is the answer to solving the problem of the constant growth of obese people, the proper solutions would involve a
culture
 change and citizens more conscious.
