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?

Lifestyle
diseases are very common nowadays. Because of that, the life expectancy of the public is declining day by day.
Therefore
, recently there has been a discussion about increasing
taxes
for fast
food
to have control over these kinds of diseases.
However
, in my viewpoint, inclining
tax
for fast
foods
will not make any noticeable change in the health of humans.
This
essay will examine the topic in detail with relevant examples in the following paragraphs.
Firstly
, fast
foods
had been eaten by high-class
people
because of their busy life schedules.
Moreover
, these populations are affordable to buy
food
from outside even on daily basis
also
.
For instance
, most IT professionals prefer to eat
food
from restaurants even though, they earn well,they are not finding time to cook and eat at home. To summarize, if the government impose more
taxes
on fast
food
also
,
people
who lead a sedentary
lifestyle
will stick to the same
lifestyle
that, they are following because of their busy work schedules.
Secondly
, increasing the
tax
for fast
foods
will create a negative impact on the government among middle-class
people
.
In addition
, the middle-class population who gets a chance to eat these kinds of
food
sometimes in their life
also
may get spoiled because of high
taxes
.
Moreover
, these populations are not risky to get
lifestyle
diseases like Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus and so on. Because of that, these category
people
will be the ultimate sufferers if the government increases
tax
for restaurant
foods
. In a nutshell, from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that high
taxes
for fast
food
cannot able to control health problems due to sedentary lifestyles.
Therefore
, I completely disagree with the opinion of increasing
tax
for fast
foods
.
