many manufactured food and drink products contain high level off 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?
Today high levels of
sugar
are contained in many sources of food
, especially in manufactured food
.And, of course, eating so much sugar
is not good for our health: it can cause just a simple cavy, for example
,but also
worse problems, like the increasing level of sugar
in blood. Some people
suggest that sugary products should be more expensive, so people
would buy less of them.
According to me, I think that this
solution is not the best one as sugary products include some types of food
that we eat everyday, such
as bread or pasta. This
foods, particularly the first
one, are really important in our diet, so make them more expensive will influence not only our lifestyle, but also
some people
wouldn't be able anymore to buy the most important food
for them. Just think for example
to poor people
,who can maybe afford a few of bread per day: what would they eat if we inreased bread price?
I think that the best solution for this
problem would be informing people
about what they eat,because sometimes we don't even know that. They have already done something to inform people
about the characteristics of food
, of course, and lebels are one of the most important thing, as they tell you all ingredients of a particular food
. Yet, not many people
spend some of their time reading lebels,or,if they do it, they probably don't know the biggest part of the substances named in the list, as well not everybody knows that there is a specific order of the ingredients in the list.So something we could do is organizing some "talks" to inform people
not only about the function of lebels,but especially about the big amount of sugar
we eat everyday.I think as well that this
talks should be organised also
in schools, because also
children must be aware of what they eat,besides
,children an tell what they have learned by these "conferences" at their parents,so the whole family would eat better.
To sum up it, I think it is not necessary to increase the prices of sugary food
and that all we need is information,that will lead people
to eat less sugary food
and,as consequence,live better with less problems.Submitted by merve.dmryk on
