Shops should not be allowed to sell any food and drinks that has been scientifically proved to be bad for people's health. To what extent do you agree or disagree

#shops #food #drinks #people #health
Some suggest that governments should prohibit all unhealthy
food
 in the market to ensure everyone lives a healthy life.
However
, I disagree with
this
 idea because the policy is impractical and can have a negative effect on both
people
 and society.
Although
 imposing a ban on
food
 that can damage consumers' health can eliminate all the unwholesome
food
 from supermarkets and grocery stores,
people
 are still not guaranteed to develop healthy dietary habits. Individuals who are into fried
food
 or extra oil and sugar can still cook by themselves and enjoy homemade junk
food
.
Moreover
, compared to unhealthy
food
, wholesome
food
such
 as organic meat and vegetables tend to be very pricy, which can cause a budget crisis to the poor or waste their time cooking low-budget meals.
Furthermore
, banning unhealthy
food
 can cause social instability or even chaos. Specifically, a large proportion of packaged edibles contain preservatives and additives that can worsen customers' health conditions or shorten their life expectancy. Removing those products from the market can make thousands of manufacturers go bankrupt and millions of workers unemployed.
Thus
, the economy would remain stagnant or even go backwards. What is worse, entrepreneurs and labourers who feel unfair or can no longer make a living might develop resentment towards policymakers or protest against authorities, which can cause social unrest. Based on the above evidence and analyses, simply forbidding all unhealthy
food
 is not a viable way to help citizens' develop a wholesome dietary habit, and it can
also
 adversely affect both
people
 and society.
Therefore
, governments should encourage
people
 to eat healthily through more practical and gentler alternatives.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
