Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?

Many people believe that food and beverages that are high in sugar should be sold at high prices to discourage people from consuming these unhealthy

products

. I totally disagree because I think that it is unfair to consumers charge more for these

products

and

also

because there are other more effective ways to discourage

consumption

of these

types

of

goods

. The main reason why I believe these

products

should not be made more expensive is that it is unfair to shoppers. These

types

of

goods

, when consumed in moderation, are not a health risk and

therefore

it does not seem reasonable that everybody who consumes these

goods

should have to pay more.

Furthermore

, for people on a tight budget, a sweet snack is an affordable luxury.

However

, if prices are hiked

this

might put people’s favourite snack out of reach.

In addition

, there are more effective ways to decrease the

consumption

of sugary

goods

. The best way is for the government to engage in public service advertising to educate the public about the need to eat these

types

of

products

in moderation.

This

type of approach has been useful with other vices

such

as alcohol and cigarettes and so it seems reasonable that it will

also

work for sugary

products

. Another effective way to decrease

is to ban

the advertising

of these

of

products

. I feel

this

will be effective because it will create less of a psychological desire to consume these

types

of

goods

. In conclusion, I am totally against increasing the price of confectionery.

This

is because it is not fair to consumers and there are better ways to reduce

consumption

of these sugary

goods
