Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree ?

Nowadays, the
food
industry produces sugar-sweetened beverages and foods with too much sugar which bring health-related issues to people. Some individuals have a point of view that prices of sugary
products
must be increased in order to protect humanity from considerable consumption. I completely disagree with the statement, and I am going to reflect on my own view of
such
a common problem. In the
first
place, many can argue about making sugar contained
food
and beverages expensive as a type of encouragement. As I see it, it is neither the cause nor a solution for less usage of those
products
. Because still people will buy and eat them.
For instance
, when someone has a habitual necessity to buy and consume junk
food
that simply means he is addicted to
this
. Still, he will make a decision to buy those foods.
Secondly
, another reason for my disagreement is that making sugary
products
expensive will increase a business's income, nothing else.
That is
why
this
problem should be addressed to the government.
For example
, they can set up new restrictions or increase taxes for
such
kind of
food
industry to reduce their income on
this
goods, in
further
preventing their actions.
Besides
, they sell more calories in those
products
than people can burn. To conclude, increased prices of foods and drinks containing high-level sugar will not bring the result.
That is
why the government should make reforms to ensure public health. I believe that in
this
way we will reduce the rate of carbohydrate consumption.
