In some countries an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems as a result of eating much fast food. It is therefore necessary for governments to impose higher tax on this kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

The number of the population who suffer from

health

problems from consuming a lot of

junk

foods are increasing in some countries. Some

people

think that the state should impose a higher tax on fast meals whilst others disagree with

this

idea. In my view, I disagree with that. On the one hand,

people

think that the government should pass the law to increase the tax on

junk

food

because it might decrease the

health

problems caused by

this

kind of

food

.

However

, It is not effective with wealthy

people

who have enough money to spend on

junk

food

such

as burgers, nuggets, french fries.

Moreover

, If the taxes on

junk

food

is increased, it will affect the restaurant and employees. I believe that there are other solutions for reducing

this

issue except for increasing taxes.

On the other hand

, I think there are better ways to solve

this

problem.

First

, The government should provide sports facilities, for ,instance gyms, parks or sports fields to encourage

people

to exercise and take care of their physical

health

. The majority of

people

who suffer from

this

problem are adolescents and working

people

due to their deliciousness and comfort. Another effective solution is the government should work with schools and give the information about nutrients and effects of eating habits on

health

. In conclusion, I totally disagree with the way of increasing taxes, it is a direct way but not effective with some groups of

people

and it

also

can cause some disadvantages. There are better solutions to fix

this

problem and benefits more in long term without any disadvantages.
