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

.
