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

ax on the meat of cow, people still bought meat of dog, which might make them weak in the stomach.

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.
