In some countries an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems as a result of eating too much fast food. It is therefore necessary for governments to impose a higher tax on this kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
People of many countries believe that eating too much fast
food
is deteriorating health of many people day by day, so the government should levy more tax
on that kind of food
. Although
this
might be a prevalent conviction among some people, my perspective is that imposing high tax
will not serve any purpose to rich people who can find other substitutes of that to eat.
Firstly
, people who have a lot of wealth can buy the same foodstuffs which are sold for considerably higher prices after tax
. In other words
, they can get the same food
at a high price and can still suffer from health problems because of an abundance of money. For instance
, a recent study has shown that people with greater wealth influence buy same things repeatedly even if its price has gone up by any means. Thus
, junk food
which has high- priced can be bought and can still pose threat to a significant amount of people who are consuming it.
In addition
, even if the government imposes a higher tax
on certain hazardous food
items, customers can still choose the next
best alternative, which is available in the market for a cheaper price, which might pose more danger to the life of people. For example
, after imposing t
ax on the meat of cow, people still bought meat of dog, which might make them weak in the stomach.Add an article

Therefore
, consuming another type of fast food
can cause more serious health issues.
To conclude, due to various reasons, I believe that increase in tax
on fast food
items cannot stop people to eat less of high cholesterol food
and therefore
it cannot be mandatorily imposed.Submitted by mansi48 on
