Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar.
Nowadays,
residents
tend to consume food
and beverage products
that contain high levels of sugar. However
, this
behaviour
results in many health troubles of people
. Therefore
, some people
believe that sugary products
should be made at a higher price
to help them eat less sugar. In the following paragraphs, the reasons why I disagree with this
issue will be discussed.
To begin
with, making sugary products
more expensive could be better for residents
’ health. In other words
, when the authorities raise the price
of sugary products
, people
will change their behaviour
of consuming food
and drink. To illustrate, recent research on food
behaviour
in one country found that the statistic of eating sugary products
is decreasing due to the higher price
, compared to the past. Consequently
, this
solution will encourage some people
to avoid eating unhealthy food
.
On the other hand
, I strongly disagree with this
idea because this
solution is not the only way, affecting most residents
to eat less sugary goods. First
of all, citizens with high income can also
buy food
at a higher price
because they are affordable. Moreover
, there are other ways to solve this
problem with the collaboration of governments. For instance
, the authorities can raise awareness of consuming unhealthy food
by providing information on the disadvantages of this
behaviour
. Furthermore
, encouraging residents
to do more exercise will be better than raising the price
of sugary products
.
In conclusion, even though there are some advantages of making sugary products
more expensive to help people
consume less sugar, I believe that there are other ways to solve this
problem by raising awareness of eating unhealthy food
and encouraging residents
to do more exercise.Submitted by unny on
