Secondly
, customers pay the same amount of taxes on fast foods as they do on other things as well.

For instance
, my sister being a teenager consumes more McDonalds than she does the veggies or proteins which is going to harm her in future in many ways. In the end, I would like to recapitulate by stating that looking at the rise in the number of individuals facing several kinds of diseases, the government should come up with the new laws for the increase of taxes on fast
