More and more people are becoming seriously overweight. Some people say that increasing the price of fattening foods will solve this problem. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Several leaders think that doing well economically is an essential issue whereas some individuals are of the thought that progressing in other areas is
also
important. I ,
however
, agree that other areas are
also
relevant and should be improved. The essay below will discuss both views at length.
First
and foremost, economically stable countries are not entirely peaceful because they always have problems politically and socially.
Therefore
, I think economic progress is useless if other issues are not dealt with.
For example
, Hong Kong is one of the richest cities in the world with a stable economy, but there is no
peace
because of politics.
That is
why other types of success must be considered.
On the other hand
, some think progressing economically is more important because if everyone is happy and working, it means
peace
can be achieved.
This
is not true because money does not buy
peace
, if it were so, all developed countries would be living in harmony.
For instance
, the United States of America is considered to be one of the countries with the highest rates of racism in the world. All
this
happens in an economy
that is
stable.
Therefore
, being rich does not mean there is harmony. In conclusion, I am of the opinion that economic stability is not important than other progress because to attain
peace
, all other issues
such
as politics should be considered.
However
, some individuals think economic achievement is the most essential as it may bring
peace
to everyone, though I think it is untrue. These and other issues are discussed above.
