containing Use synonyms
a high amounts
of Correct the article-noun agreement
high amounts
a high amount
sugar
should be taxed heavily to reduce their Use synonyms
consumption
while there are Use synonyms
also
those and so am I who do not support Linking Words
this
idea. Both sides of Linking Words
this
argument with appropriate reasons will be discussed in the upcoming paragraphs.
The Linking Words
first
reason, I believe, the Linking Words
people
supporting the idea of taxing sweet Use synonyms
food
Use synonyms

have would be that Use synonyms
such
foods cause harm to Linking Words
people
's health. Many diseases are caused when Use synonyms
sugar
is consumed in excessive amounts and there are several Use synonyms

in the market that have a lot of added Use synonyms
sugar
to enhance their taste. A spike of about 20%, Use synonyms

Therefore
, it is a belief of some Linking Words

that Use synonyms

Linking Words
Although
on the basis of the discussion above it seems quite right to tax foods having Linking Words
the
high levels of Correct article usage
apply

, I think that Use synonyms
this
measure would not be helpful in solving the problem discussed above. What I mean to say is, it would not help in reducing the Linking Words
consumption
of Use synonyms
such
Linking Words
food
Use synonyms

that much. Those who like eating sugary Use synonyms
food
Use synonyms

would consume them anyway, there would be a little reduction but not that great decrease observed in the overall Use synonyms
consumption
of these Use synonyms
products
.
In conclusion, charging Use synonyms
food
Use synonyms
products
having Use synonyms
the
high levels of Correct article usage
apply
sugar
would reduce their Use synonyms
consumption
to some extent and would be helpful in preventing Use synonyms
people
from suffering from several diseases caused due to Use synonyms
