In some countries an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems as a result of eating too much fast food. It is therefore necessary for governments to impose a higher tax on this kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In rural areas, we could see that the number of fast-
food
joints is increasing day by day. It is always believed that fast food
is one of the major reasons for health
issues and also
some people
think that government should impose a higher tax and regulate them by law. I completely disagree with this
statement as fast food
is not the main purpose for public wellness.
In recent studies conducted by medical professionals, It is found that people
suffer from several deadly diseases due to pollution, irregular sleeping habits and lack of exercise etc, Likewise
, the polluted air and water released out of factories cause most of the health
problems. In developing countries, They have no proper facilities to treat the drinking water and which causes diseases like Typhoid and Cancer. moreover
, people
who work in severe stressful conditions like IT / Technology company employees were prone to irregular sleeping habits. For instance
, People
used to sit in front of computers for long hours could affect their eyes and spine.
Although
there are some instances where a few health
issues were also
caused due to fast food
, it is not as concerning factor as we discussed above. Even if the state urges to levy extra taxes on these hotels, these taxes would be directly transferred to the customers as a result
and I believe that this
will not close down the eat out itself or increase their food
standards. The government can regulate these fast foods by asking the food
department to conduct a spot check on the ingredients, cooking methods and so on.
In Conclusion, I would like to pen down my opinion that these fast food
are to be regulated by the government by restricting their vulnerable ingredients and methods of cooking, instead
of applying heavy tax. We can also
understand that fast foods are not the prime objective for several health
issues. There are many other concerning reason like pollution which needs to be addressed first
