Unhealthy eating has a negative effect on both individuals and the society in which they live. Some people think that the government should tax unhealthy foods while others believe that a ‘fat tax’ is unfair and unnecessary. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion

An inappropriate diet,
that is
full of unsaturated fats, sugar, and preservatives, is considered to be the main reason for many medical issues,
for instance
, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and others, that burden the health sector, community, and jeopardise one's life. It is considered by many that taxing junk
food
will help to alleviate the problem, while others believe that
such
a practice is not just to others and not needed.
This
essay will discuss both views and will support the argument that the financial penalty for fast
food
is unacceptable. On the one hand, it is argued by some that, if the government taxes people and unhealthy cuisines, they will transform into more healthy options.
In other words
, individuals and society will avoid any extra financial burden and will opt into

Furthermore

On the other hand

food
is considered a choice by some and the freedom to choose should be granted in modern society. Forcing a population to divert into a certain type of
food
may be unfair.
Also
, economically disadvantaged families find fast street

to keep them fed when other "healthy" option can be very expensive to attain.
Moreover
, most modern age diseases are caused not only by diet but
also
by a sedentary lifestyle, stress, and unawareness of healthy

.
Therefore
, applying taxes may not address the causes of the problems and,
as a result
, not just fail to solve the issue but may

create more difficulties. In my opinion, fining fast meals,
although
holds good intention, is not an evidence-based nor informed decision and should not be done. In conclusion, choosing the wrong diet is
