In some countries an increasing number of people are suffering form 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 with this opinion?

In many countries around the

a significant number of the population are suffering from illnesses that are associated with consuming fast

,

therefore

it is fundamental for governments to increase taxes for

food

. My essay totally agrees with

this

statement because doing

this

, will encourage

citizens

to eat less unhealthy

food

and chose to eat healthier

instead

. 

To begin

with, one of the reasons that

people

buy fast

food

is that it is cheap. Normally

people

with low income find it convenient to feed themselves and their families with

food

that does not cost too much.

For example

, it is widely known that many

people

who are obese and suffer from diabetes and heart diseases are

citizens

that consume a lot of fast

food

.

Thus

, governments should increase the taxes so the

citizens

might opt for healthy

food

instead

.

Secondly

, if

tax is to be increased it might discourage many

citizens

from buying it. That means that fruits and vegetables would cost relatively the same as ready meals which are available in the shops.

For instance

, since the tax for fizzy drinks increased,

people

choose water

instead

of a coca-cola or any other fizzy drink that they normally would go for. In conclusion, I believe that it is imperative for the governments to increase the tax for fast feed which is responsible for many diseases. If

that is

done so, It is likely that many would opt for healthy options

instead
