Unhealthy food has negative effect on both individuals and on the society they live in. Some people think that the government should tax the unhealthy food while others say that fat tax is unfair an unnecessary. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is a flood of junk
food
in today's time. Consuming
such
food
can leave a negative impact on the
health
of a person. There are a bunch of people who consider posing
tax
on
such

items whereas many invariably believe that
this
should not be a right step and not mandatory. I inarguably support the former opinion and would throw light on both views but justify my opinion with valid reasonings.
To begin
with, processed
food
such
as burger, pizza, taco, etc. are easily accessible and those who are travelling may choose
this
as the most convenient option when hunger strikes.
This
leads to munching on items that can cause long term effects on one's body.
For instance

Therefore
, imposing an erroneous amount of
tax
would not be considered idle.
However
, opting for fried

can have an adverse effect on our
health
and can lead to many

For example
, a recent study conducted by a men's

magazine has stated that India is among the highest countries with the most number of diabetic patients.
This
has compelled the government to take stringent measures
such
as adding a fat

that can limit many from buying processed
food
.
Moreover
, a high duty fee is

the fact that imposing a fat

however
, it can be beneficial in limiting the consumption of unhealthy items in daily lifestyle.
Therefore

ministers.
