The government has the duty to ensure its citizens have a healthy diet, while others believe it is individuals' responsibility. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Never has the topic concerning a healthy

diet

failed to attract our attention.

However

, when it comes to whether a healthy

diet

is the responsibility of the government or everyone, the supporters of each view have their own justifications. Some

people

are adamant that the government’s intervention is conductive, while others contend that individuals’ effort is essential. From my own perspective, the two views are not mutually exclusive. It is undeniable that the government’s intervention would bring some profits.

First

and foremost, the government can implement some laws and legislation to prohibit

people

from littering, especially in the sea and rivers. It is not rare to see that some abandoned items by residents are unrenewable or even poisonous. Some of these harmful materials are prone to be discarded into the sea.

Hence

, the public will be vulnerable to

food

which contains poisonous slime, which will put the health of the public in jeopardy.

By contrast

, these measures would act as a deterrent effect and encourage the citizens to obey the law, which can alleviate

such

severe consequences.

In addition

, the government has the ability and responsibility to strengthen the enforcement of the laws and legislations to punish those who sell unhealthy

food

. It is not uncommon to see that some

food

manufacturers sometimes over-exaggerate the commodities and even make some counterfeit foods to cheat the customers. For some customers, they cannot distinguish whether the

food

is healthy or not, which is prone to make the customers be susceptible to the over-prevalent of advertisement.

However

,

this

policy is inclined to terminate/eradicate their misbehaviours and the public can eat safe and healthy foods

Although

the benefits of government’s supervision are multifarious, the merits of ourselves’ effort cannot be overlooked.

To begin

with, parents need to educate their children about the importance of a healthy

diet

. It is generally believed that an unhealthy

diet

can cause various health problems, especially for kids.

By contrast

, some young

people

are deficient in identifying which

food

is healthy or not.

Therefore

, parents should guide children to avoid eating unhealthy

food

such

as junk

food

and sugary snacks during the day. In a long run, they can become increasingly health-conscious.

Moreover

, diets depend on the individual specific status and lifestyle. It is universally acknowledged that young

people

are facing severe situations/fierce competition to find a job, leading a hectic lifestyle. An example can be seen that some office workers lack time to do home-cook

food

or proper meal which rich in nutrients and vitamins.

Consequently

, they have a huge propensity for eating fast foods which contain too much fat, salt and sugar.

As a result

people

have their own lifestyles and these would not be easily
