Some people believe that it is responsibility of individuals to take care of their own health and diet, other believe that governments should make sure that their citizens have a healthy diet. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Having a healthy body and,
therefore
, a healthy mind is one of the most important concerns of every human being. A group of people
believe that every person should be careful about their health and diet, whereas others believe the governments
are responsible for the quality levels of foods. I strongly agree with the latter opinion.
On the one hand, some people
claim that since the individuals themselves decide what kind of lifestyle they choose and what they eat, their health is on them. Indeed, many people
put a considerable amount of unhealthy food
on their daily diets, such
as high fatty food
or fast food
. Consequently
, they suffer from diseases such
as heart-related illnesses and diabetes. However
, I do not find this
argument convincing because if people
are aware of the problems that this
kind of unhealthy food
can bring, they might avoid these unhealthy dietary habits and promote their healthful lifestyle.
On the other hand
, some people
justifiably argue that it is the responsibility of governments
to monitor and control the food
that is
available to the public. In other words
, this
group believes that governments
should first
provide healthy food
with a high level of nutrients in the markets and make sure this
market is open for all people
. Secondly
, they must Strictly investigate the quality of food
served by restaurants. For example
, in many developed countries, people
have access to organic food
in supermarkets alongside ordinary food
. Additionally
, The government must make people
aware of a healthy diet and a good lifestyle.
To conclude, It is undeniable that every person can choose how to live and what to eat. But in my view, it is the responsibility of governments
to ensure all people
conveniently access a healthy diet and be aware of why they should eat healthy food
then
they can choose between them.Submitted by payam_phk on
