All over the world, societies are facing a growing problem with obesity. This problem affects both children and adults. What are the reason for this rise in obesity, How could it be tickled?

Obesity has become a global crisis increasingly, affecting all the age groups. The biggest culprit for

this

problem is the overconsumption of unhealthy diet, and I think it can be settled by the government increasing taxes for

food

and beverages. Nowadays, people are suffering from the overweight issue in increasing order, and the reason for

this

is including unhealthy diets

such

as fast

food

and soda drinks in their daily routine.

This

type of meal contains fat, cholesterol and other toxic content which produces undesirable fat in the body resulting in obesity-related diseases.

Moreover

, today both the parents are busy in their hectic work schedule, and they end up feeding junk

food

to their children and themselves to save their time which

also

affects kids.

For example

, in the

last

decade, The United States has reported the highest number of obesity cases in the world due to their local cuisines like burgers, pizza and cold drinks. To curb

this

issue, I believe the government should raise the applied taxes on these products.

Consequently

,

this

will not only save people's money but will

also

encourage them to have home-cooked

food

which will eventually result in a healthy lifestyle.

For instance

, Korea raised

food

taxes by 30% in 2017 to experiment with

this

idea, and the number of cases fell by 20% compared to the previous year.

This

result shows that people can't afford high priced

food

frequently. To conclude, Increasing weight in children and adults has become a problem worldwide due to intake of street

food

regularly, and the government can fix

this

phenomenon by raising the percentage of taxes applied to the

food

industry.
