People
 issues in certain countries due to excessive ‎fast
food
consumption
. Some
people
 believe that to bring it under control, the government should increase the
tax
 on
such
food
 items.
However
, I disagree ‎entirely with its view as I feel that imparting health-related knowledge to the ‎citizens and banning hazardous
food
 items are the best ways to deal with it. ‎ Undoubtedly, consuming too much fast
food
 leads to many health-related ‎concerns. To tackle it, the government has to step in, impart education to the ‎citizens regarding the amount of fast
food
 they can eat and its ill effects rather ‎than impose a higher
tax
 as it will increase the burden on middle-class
people
. To ‎illustrate, in most countries, about 65% of the population consists of the middle ‎class, and if the state imposes higher taxes on any
food
 item, they will be the ‎most affected lot.
Therefore
, educating
people
 of all classes about the health ‎issues arising from junk
food
consumption
 is more feasible. Fast
food
 contains certain ingredients, which are incredibly harmful to the human ‎body. The government should ban
such
 ingredients from dealing with its
consumption
's health ‎problems.
This
 step can eradicate the problem ‎from its root cause.
For example
, Ajinomoto is an extensively used ingredient in fast
food
 preparations. Health specialists consider it a slow ‎poison to the human body and cause cancer. The kind of
food
 substances ‎used in fast
food
 should be put on the banned list. It will be more successful than ‎increasing the
tax
 on fast
food
. In conclusion, I firmly believe that imposing
tax
 will not help much in solving the ‎health issues arising out of excessive
consumption
 of fast
food
 as it will not ‎address the root cause of the issue;
instead
, it would put more economic pressure ‎on low, and middle-class sections of the society.
