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.
