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.
